Hebrew Liturgical Music of Rome, Piedmont, Italy

B"H Rome

While meandering through the Roman Ghetto, I bumped
into a perhaps major collection of old Italian
melodies with Hebrew texts, used for the religious
service. Transcribed with commentaries by Elio
Piattelli, dating from 1967 (the Italian tradition,
over 200 pages), and an updated volume (1986) with
Piedmont tunes (124 pages).

Does anyone know anything about these? Much modality,
which would probably point to 16-17th century taste.
Any singers who can volunteer any information?

Ciao for niao,

Alex Jacobowitz
