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
