Re: books on Jewish music

[robert wiener <wiener...>]

Now that nearly all of the Jewish Music books I own have been
mentioned, perhaps some would comment on those that have not.

How are the following books seen by those in the know?

Beregovski, Moshe (ed. & trans. Mark Slobin): Old Jewish Folk
    Music     (The Collections and Writings of...)

Binder, A.W. (ed. Irene Heskes): Studies in Jewish Music
    (collected writings)

Judith Kaplan Eisenstein: Heritage of Music: The Music of the Jewish
    People

Moshe Gorali: The Old Testament in Music

Alfred Sendrey: Music in Ancient Israel

Alfred Sendrey: The Music of the Jews in the Diaspora
