Hashkiveinu rewrites

Today's work session: revising the setting of the Hashkiveinu prayer that I wrote last week. Silly me, I forgot a whole section of the text and now I have to fit it in. That's okay, I have more orchestration details ready now.

The section I left out was the one about mental fears and monsters. It falls into nice sections with sleepy time for the opening, then the prayer for protection from the monsters and scary things out there in the night, then a prayer to save us from the scary things inside our own heads and hearts. Then it all wraps up nicely with another lullaby section.

Nicely, except I left out the scary things in our selves section. Grrrr.
