Music and the choice of musical settings function as one of the most basic forms of affiliation and identity in American Jewish congregations. This study explores the networks of musical interaction within this community through oral stories and an analysis of recordings. While the same melody may be used in different worship circles, its meaning can vary dramatically from one community to another, even when these worship groups are located only a few miles apart. This book examines how choice of melondy helps Jews present and maintain their cultural identity. An audio CD packaged with the book includes field recordings of the most important tunes discussed.
