This piece was a way to explore my Jewish heritage. It combines text of the Shma, an ancient Hebrew prayer, and the Hebrew phrase "everything is order within the chaos," which I found compelling to experiment with.
Lyrics
Shma yisrael (hear me, O Israel)
Hear me.
Hakol beseder b'eli haSeder. (everything is order within the chaos)
Oh, hear me now.
