Here is a youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WavUXk1MkO4 recording.  It isn't perfect, but it is neat hearing the Shema sung to the ancient melody that was reconstructed by Suzanne Haik Vantoura from the mysterious cantillation marks of the Hebrew Scriptures.  Suzanne made a good case that the cantillation marks recorded the original music that the Bible was sung to, at the Temple, even at the Tabernacle.  The words aren't the same as the "Shema prayer".  The words are an exact quote of Deuteronomy 6:4-9.
