Stan Tenen's Meru Foundation has produced The Music of
Genesis.

According to the CD case notes, the CD contains:

2-3. The Music of Genesis by Stephen James Taylor,
original concept by Stan Tenen. ... Composer Stephen
James Taylor is known for his fusion of blues, gospel,
African tribal music and classical counterpoint into
lyrical film scores. ... The Music of Genesis,
composed in 1992, renders the 27 Hebrew letters in a
microtonal scale based on ascending and descending
perfect fifths, with nine computer-generated
instrumental voices assigned to the letters in groups
of three ... Two versions are presented ...
2. 2210 notes (Gen. 2:11), each note approximately
0.5 seconds long, played twice (19:10)
3. 252 notes (Gen. 1:7), each note approximately 1.5
seconds long, played twice (12:40)

It took awhile to find the page with something to listen to:

Starts like Holst or Rimsky the K, has an interesting massed chord in the
middle, then turns into watered down Sibelius. I'd be curious to hear more.

Good old Tony Smith- count on him to have some interesting stuff on his
pages.
