A setting of Song of Songs, Chapter 8:6a and 7a, Set Me as a Seal was composed as a vehicle for the prominent cantor Ira Bigeleisen and his particularly rich basso voice. However, the solo can also be sung effectively by an alto. Structurally, it is a simple AABA' form, and presents no unusual vocal demands on the chorus. Cascading vocal entries on the text “Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it” provide text painting and contrast to music that is otherwise gently lyrical and songlike.
