In the Jewish tradition, the Song of Songs is associated with love and the coming of spring. This setting is a powerful example of the highly sensual and passionate love poetry. It has long been interpreted by both the Jewish and Christian traditions as an extended allegory for the relationship between God and God's people as well as between two people in love.

Written as a tribute for a loved one's wedding, this passionate text is captured beautifully in the music. Programmed for the 2023 ACDA National Honors Choir.
Composer: Margaret Burk
A setting of Song of Songs, Chapter 8:6a and 7a, Set Me as a Seal was composed as a vehicle for the prominent cantor Ira Bigeleisen and his particularly rich basso voice. However, the solo can also be sung effectively by an alto. Structurally, it is a simple AABA' form, and presents no unusual vocal demands on the chorus. Cascading vocal entries on the text "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it" provide text painting and contrast to music that is otherwise gently lyrical and songlike. Duration: 4:00
Composer: Nick Strimple

In the Jewish tradition, the Song of Songs is associated with love and the coming of spring. This setting is a powerful example of the highly sensual and passionate love poetry. It has long been interpreted by both the Jewish and Christian traditions as an extended allegory for the relationship between God and God's people as well as between two people in love.
Composer: Nico Muhly
