Reflective passages give way to more dramatic and passionate sections.

"...The Lord, the Lord, compassionate and gracious God slow to anger, abounding in loving-kindness and truth,

extending loving-kindness to a thousand generations,

forgiving iniquity, rebellion and sin,

and absolving [the guilty who repent]..."

One of Cantor Finkelstein's earliest compositions, inspired by the opportunity to write for the 16-voice professional chorus and organ

that accompanied him at Sinai Temple, Los Angeles.
