about

In some ways, this is the epitome of the project. A live recording of the Homage and Invocation chants of the Gyuto Monks are heard throughout the recitation of the Sh’mah Yisrael (Deuteronomy 6:4-9), prayer of Baghdadi Judaism, Hear O Israel the Lord is God The Lord is One. The second line, which is traditionally only sung in the Yom Kippur service, is heard on this recording, and it is hoped this causes no distress to anyone. The Sh’mah is a meditation on the unity of life, a teaching similar to the tantric practices of non-duality. “Unity of Life” has a full ensemble: The Gyuto Monks, Kim Cunio voice, harmonium and tanpurah, Heather Lee, voice, Anne Hildyard, voice and winds, Llew Kiek, oud and Tunji Beier percussion.

lyrics

Sh’ma Yisrael Adonay Elohunu Adonay Ehad.
(Baruch Shaym K’vod Malchuto L’olam Vaed.)
V’ a havta eth adonay elohecha b’hol ’vavcha
U’v’chol naf’sh’cha uv’chol m’odecha
V’hay had’varim haaile, asher anochi
M’tsav’cha hayom al’l’vavecha. V’shinantan
L’vanecha v’dirbatha baam, b’shivtecha b’vetecha,
Uvelechtecha vaderech uv’shochb’cha uvkumecha
Uk shartam l’oth al ladecha
V’hayu l’toto foth bain e enecha,
Ukh thav’tam al m’zuzoth bethecha
Uvish arecha.

Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one
(Blessed shall be his name for ever and ever)
And you shall love the Lord with all your heart soul and might.
And these words which I command you on this day shall be in your heart.
And you shall teach them to your children,
And talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the way,
When you lie down and when you rise up.
And you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand,
And they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house, and on your gates.
