Shiloah (musicology, Hebrew U. of Jerusalem ) discusses the manner in which the 2,000-year-old Jewish musical heritage meshes with the complex web of Jewish history by way of central themes such as the relation of music to religion, music and the world of the Kabbalah, and music in communal life. He considers technical and theoretical approaches, as well as art music, folk music, and performance practices of poets, vocalists, instrumentalists and dancers.
