Summary: An informed and informative tour of Jewish music
Review: Discovering Jewish Music by Marsha Bryan Edelman (Professor of Music and Education, Gratz College, Melrose Park, Pennsylvania, and President of the Zamir Choral Foundation) takes the reader on an informed and informative tour of Jewish music as reflected through 4000 years of history. An accompanying audio CD enhances the intelligent, accessible, scholarly text written for readers of all backgrounds. An impressive and very strongly recommended contribution to Judaic Studies and Cultural Music History collections, Discovering Jewish Music ranges from ancient music related artifacts down to Judaic musical expressions of the 20th century.
