What is Messianic Music?
Messianic music is a relatively new genre of composition bridging the worlds of Gospel and Jewish music. It's birth (or many would say rebirth) is the result of the inspiration evolving from Israel's re-establishment, the rebirth of the Hebrew language, and the revival among God's chosen people.
Because of both the intense honor for the Bible, and insistence on interpretive accuracy which has always existed among the Jewish people, messianic music tends, for the most part, to be taken straight from scriptural passages, or at least based on them.
The additional input of immigrant groups returning, as prophesied, from the Diaspora to Israel, has widened the spectrum of musical sounds and scales, making messianic music among the most ethnically interesting and variable in the believing world.
The first modern day messianic songs, based on Eastern European Jewish melodic ideas, were composed in the early 1960's by Merv and Merla Watson. It would be more than 10 years before others joined their ranks. The Watsons continue their musical journey in Israel today, joined by the daughter Elana, now a composer and musician in her own right. Today there are tens of published messianic composers around the world, with the majority living in Israel.
Anyone familiar with the prolific work of the Watsons (Awake O Israel, Jehova Jira), Stuart Dauermann (Hineni), Joel Chernoff (The Year of Jubilee), David Loden (Rejoice, Daughter of Zion), Elisheva Shomron (Kadosh, For the Sake of Zion), Paul Wilbur (Shalom Jerusalem), or Marc Chopinsky (Come, Let Us Go Up) will recognize varied, yet familiar threads woven throughout their compositions. God and his words are first; the melodies serve the words, not the other way around. Harmonies are different from those in every other genre of "gospel" music. The rhythms reflect the excitement of God's awakening in Israel today, yet reserve respect for the scriptures they accompany. If you are new to Messianic Music, you are in for a delightful treat.

Yuval Shomron

We Believe that Yeshua is God's son, and messiah for all of the children of Israel, as well as the rest of the world.

If you've listened to Hebrew Messianic Worship, chances are you've heard compositions by Elisheva Shomron. Called to Israel with her husband in 1977, Elisheva has been writing worship songs in Hebrew for nearly twenty years. Perhaps the best known of these is the song "Kadosh" (Holy), which has been translated into more than forty languages and is sung in congregations around the world.

Now Kadosh is available on CD, with translations and trans-literations (Hebrew words written with the English alphabet) so you can sing along! Also available: a beautiful collection of Elisheva's best loved songs, Le Ma'an Zion (For the sake of Zion), K'Tal L'Israel (As the Dew to Israel), Lo HaKavod (To Him be the Glory),and Elisheva's newest release, Song for Zion. Song lists and sound clips can be accessed by clicking on the album covers.

4 New CDs will be added to this site soon.
