The feature that most interests us is the singing, or cantillation, of the oli. |
Cantillation, in music, intoned liturgical recitation of scriptural texts, guided by signs originally devised as textual accents, punctuations, and indications of emphasis. |
These three books are also the only ones in Tanakh with a special system of cantillation notes that are designed to emphasize parallel stichs within verses. |
The cantillation of the mele was in the distinct and quiet tone and manner which the Hawaiians termed ko'i-honua. |
Their process of questioning the sources gives birth to an impression of newness, of reconstruction resting upon an art of cantillation for which we have no equivalent on disc? |
They guide the modulated flow of the voice in cantillation, thus serving, in a certain sense, as musical notes. |
