Music for the Days of Awe 2011/5772
Aleinu
from Malchuyot of Rosh Hashanah (p. 154)
Though its popularity resulted in its use at the conclusion of each service, this prayer
was actually created specifically for the Malchuyot service of Rosh Hashanah. In this
context, Aleinu gives us all an opportunity to prostrate ourselves to the ground, to pray to
God with body and soul as well as heart and voice.

Duet for Elul
from Psalm 121 and Psalm 27; Arranged by Andrew Bernard
Combining two powerful psalms of yearning for the Days of Awe, this duet asks: I lift up
my eyes toward the heavens, from where will my help come? My help comes from God,
maker of heaven and earth. Achat Sha’alti, drawn from Psalm 27, the Psalm for the Days
of Awe, expresses a single desire, the longing of this season: One thing I ask, for this I
yearn, to dwell in God’s house all the days of my life, to behold God’s beauty, to pray in
God’s sanctuary.

K’vakarat Ro’eh Edro
From Unetaneh Tokef (p. 143)
All that lives on earth shall pass before You like a flock of sheep. As a shepherd
examines the flock, making each sheep pass under the staff, so You will review and
number and count, judging each living being, determining the fate of everything in
creation, inscribing their destiny.
