Levite Musicians Sing and Play on Temple Steps

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

Three men in white robes stand on stone steps, a singer with raised hands between a harpist and a man with a psaltery. Doves fly above the city behind them.

Prompt

Psalm 33: "Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous... Praise the LORD with harp: sing to him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise." Three joyful Levite musicians in white linen robes stand close together on stone steps outdoors, large and central: an older singer in the middle with head thrown back in song, one young man plucking a tall wooden harp, and another playing a ten-stringed psaltery, a wooden frame instrument held against his chest. Their faces glow with delight. Behind them, a clear sky over the hills of Jerusalem in golden morning light; doves fly overhead. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
