"If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music.

I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. I get the most joy in life out of music."

~ Albert Einstein

Silent Devotion and Response, by Ernest Bloch

This is performed by students at Eastern New Mexico University, but I went searching for it because I heard it at Southside Baptist Church this morning as they recounted their interfaith partnership with with Temple Emanu-El.
It is Jewish sacred choral music by Ernest Bloch. The words are from Psalm 19, and they are words I often heard as the benediction by Rev Murray Seay at Dadeville First Baptist Church when I was a kid: "Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer."
