Happy Paschal Week from the Boston Camerata!

An offering from Camerata, during this important week for both Jews and Christians. The psalm recounts the exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt, and we sing it, alternating verses, in both the (original) Hebrew and Latin versions. One tune comes from Jewish oral tradition; the other is the Gregorian “tonus peregrinus.”

But wait, aren’t they different versions of the same thing? And aren’t we all, on this mortal coil, brothers and sisters?
