I suggest that you read the book:

"Jewish Music: In Its Historical Development"
by Abraham Zebi Idelsohn
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0486271471/qid=1057266537/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_2/104-7252239-7971932?v=glance&s=books&n=507846#product-details

This book is the Bible of Jewish music!
It's all explained there.
