Music in Religious Cults of the Ancient Near East presents the
first extended discussion of the relationship between music and
cultic worship in ancient western Asia. The book covers ancient
Israel and Judah, the Levant, Anatolia, Mesopotamia, Elam, and
ancient Egypt, focusing on the period from approximately 3000 BCE
to around 586 BCE. This wide-ranging book brings together insights
from ancient archaeological, iconographic, written, and musical
sources, as well as from modern scholarship. Through careful
analysis, comparison, and evaluation of those sources, the author
builds a picture of a world where religious culture was predominant
and where music was intrinsic to common cultic activity.
