I Am My Beloved's And My Beloved Is Mine Song of Solomon 6:1-4-Song of Songs (or Song of Solomon) is beyond a doubt the most musical of all Biblical books - The Psalms notwithstanding. Here is another fine addition to this repertoire: Ani l'Dodi set to a simple melody with supporting choral parts is as accessible as it is lovely. Program this for a Passover or Spring concert or perhaps for a wedding.
