This week, I heard Psalm 53 chanted in Aramaic. (It the language spoken by the Jews at the time of Jesus; it is nearly extinct, but there are a few places in Georgia that still speak it). I can't even describe the sound or the wild place it conjured for me. There are some definite affinities with Georgian music, which has similiar tonalities, but this is beautiful even beyond that. Listen to the end; it is worth the time!
It goes straight to the heart. Every time I hear it I well up. We are so blessed to hear it.
