Throughout history, music has remained a fixture of Jewish
religious life. Musical references appear in biblical accounts of
the Red Sea crossing and King Solomon's coronation, and music
continues to play a central role in virtually every Jewish
occasion. Through 100 brief, self-contained chapters, this volume
considers the theoretical approaches to the study of Jewish sacred
music and explores the central functions and properties of Jewish
prayer song. Major topics include the diversity of Jewish music,
the interaction of music and identity, the emotional and spiritual
impact of worship music, the text-tone relationship, the musical
component of Jewish holidays, and the varied ways prayer-songs are
performed. These digestible distillations of complex topics invite
a fuller appreciation of the fertile field of synagogue song and an
understanding of the underlying rationale for the ubiquitous
presence of musical tones in Jewish worship.
