How will we fathom the three great books of prophecies, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel? These three books are the first section of the later prophets. Isaiah is filled with songs to be sung. Imagine the original melodies of the song for the vineyard, or the thrice repeated Holy of the Cherubim, and the musical shape of the Servant Songs. Imagine Jeremiah meditating on the first chapter of Genesis as he laments the destruction of the temple and the exile of the people. Imagine his sadness expressed in the music embedded in the text itself, and hear the music from Genesis 1 as a counterpoint. Hear the chanting of Ezekiel, from the likeness of the four living creatures, to the vision of the temple, to the name of the city. Imagine comparing the music of the first dwelling specified in Exodus to that of the last, revealed in Ezekiel. The Major Prophets is volume 3 of the series, The Hebrew Bible and Its Music.
