David:
Please feel free to use my bibliography entitled "Starting Research in
Jewish Music" from the JMWC, either in print or as a weblink for your
students. For acquiring materials for your Reserve readings, you may also
want to take a trip up here to Brandeis. BU also has a good selection of
materials. Email me offlist. Judy.
