By Gayanne Geurin
Text from Psalm 90, verse 1
Soloist: Gayanne Geurin
Gayanne Geurin is not only CBH’s music director and lay cantor; she is also a chant leader. She wrote this chant in pandemic seclusion while noodling around with a guitar set to DADGAD tuning. The text, suggested by Rabbi Joshua Lesser, inspired her with its potent image of a divine presence passed from ancestors to descendants.

This work is a reflection of the considerate loving kindness of the composers.
I was fortunate to have been a choir student of Rebekka Goldsmith.

It is rich in women's energy, deeply felt sounds of womb energy. A beautiful expression of the best of women in the Jewish hera-tage! Chana Raskin moves my soul, an Irish soul have I! Morgana Morgaine mollymaven
