Classical Music with Jewish Reference?

A number of classical music records released within the last year may have
references to Jewish texts or events, but I am not certain. Can any one help
me ascertain the degree (if any) of Jewish content in the following?
Britten: String Quartet #2
(post-Holocaust, apparently influenced by the concentration camps)
Feldman, Barbara Monk: The I and Thou
(Buber reference?)
Gretchaninov: Liturgia Domestica
(possibly based in part on Hebrew texts)
Gruber: Gomorrah
(Biblical?)
Hindemith: Sancta Susanna
(Apocryphal?)
Horneman: Esther
(Megillat Esther?)
Kabelac: Fated Dramas of Man
(Biblical reference?)
Keal, Minna: Cantillation for Violin and Orchestra, Op.4
(Jewish cantillation?)
Markevitch: Psaume
(Tehilim?)
Rore: Sacred and Secular Motets
(any Biblical texts?)
Rosenfeld: Kniefall in Warschaw (Atonement in Warsaw)
(any explicit Jewish reference to the Warsaw ghetto, literal or musical?)
Zorn, John: Aporias - Requia
(Biblical text?)
Chag Hachanukah Sameach
