The Bible and Western culture is a burgeoning area of interest in
recent scholarship, but comparatively little has been written on
the Bible and music. Leneman's is a groundbreaking work, making
some pioneering forays across an important interdisciplinary
divide. The Performed Bible is an in-depth study of the librettos
and music of 12 operas and oratorios on the story of Ruth from the
last two centuries, establishing the potential of music, as a kind
of midrash, for transforming a Bible text, its narrative and its
characterization. The book includes detailed analyses of musical
segments, the author being a cantor and professional musician in
whose Jewish tradition biblical texts are chanted, not read. This
fresh and insightful work will no doubt prove attractive to
biblical scholars, to musicians and to music lovers generally.
