in tribute to Rabbi Solomon Kleinman on the occasion of his ninetieth birthday

The Lord bestow his His favor upon you and grant you peace.

This is a simple setting with an opening gesture for the guitar to introduce the melisma of the vocal line. Between each sentence of the blessings, the melisma becomes longer and slightly more ornate. The TAB notation is included for those guitarists who prefer this notation.
The score is available as a free PDF download, though any major commercial performance or recording of the work is prohibited without prior arrangement with the composer. Click on the graphic below for this piano-vocal score.
