Shma Yisroeil (Simple SATB Setting) — By Sholom Kalib
Shma Yisroeil (Simple SATB Setting) by Sholom Kalib is a heartfelt choral setting of the central declaration of Jewish faith — the Shema — one of the most sacred and universally recognized texts in the Jewish liturgical tradition. Kalib's accessible four-part writing makes this a moving and practical choice for synagogue choirs, interfaith concerts, and sacred choral programs of all kinds.
Simple in texture yet profound in meaning, this setting distills the spiritual weight of the Shema into a form that is immediately singable and deeply resonant. A beautiful and enduring addition to any sacred choral library.
