==Musical settings== In the Jewish tradition, there are well established and various melodies for the singing of Hallel. Some of the psalms are sung while others are recited silently or under the breath. In the classical tradition, psalms from the Hallel have been set to music many times, notably: * Psalm 114 ** [[Mendelssohn]] ** [[Josquin des Prez]] * Psalm 115 ** [[Johann Sebastian Bach]] in Cantata BWV 196, ''[[Der Herr denket an uns, BWV 196|Der Herr denket an uns]]'', using verses 12–15 * Psalm 117 ** [[Antonio Vivaldi]] ** [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]] * Psalm 118 ** [[Léonin]] ** [[Pérotin]] American composer and conductor Michael Isaacson has composed a full Hallel for [[SATB]] chorus, entitled ''An American Hallel'', with interpolations of expressions of praise and gratitude by past and present Americans. It was premiered by the Carolina Master Chorale under the directorship of Tim Koch in the autumn of 2009. Composer/performer [[Sam Glaser]] has also set the Psalms on his CD ''Hallel''.
