Psalm 104

Performance here. (Again with some spurious methegs.) Verse 15 illustrates a slight difference in the way my program interprets the ornaments. The interest to me is in the question as to when an ornament returns to the reciting note if the note is the last of a sequence. I must leave some of it to the performer. As usual the singing of Esther Lemandier is hauntingly beautiful and she sings the whole psalm. For Pentecost the psalm appointed is selected verses, 24-35 omitting 35a of course. It just won't do to mention sin these days.
