New song release for the season, that I've been listening to a lot the past couple days. I don't know if it'll have the same kick if you're not familiar with the Yom Kippur liturgy, but wow does it hit me. It's based on the passage in the Yom Kippur Mussaf where the High Priest's worship service on Yom Kippur in the Temple is described, and it moves from the technical to the numinous in such powerful ways.

Thanks for linking to that. It's pretty amazing. I especially love what he does with the counting, and your description it moves from the technical to the numinous is really apt.

I am working on HHD services for my tenth year as shlicha tzibur, and yeah, I think I'll listen through that a few more times when I'm doing the technical stuff working through the machzor and putting things in order.

Yeah, the counting is amazing. And I think also to find value at all in the idea and imagery of animal sacrifice in our day and age is one of the most impressive accomplishments of the song.

Without any comprehension of what's going on here, I still really enjoyed this music. Thank you for sharing it!
