Re: jewish music in bible

[Abigail Wood <a.c.wood...>]

Malka,

You should also check out Joachim Braun's work on Biblical musical 
instruments:
Braun, J., 2002, Music in Ancient Israel/Palestine: Archaeological, 
Written and Comparative Sources. Cambridge, MA: Eerdmans.
He also wrote the section on Biblical instruments in the Grove 
dictionary; the book also contains a huge bibliography on Biblical 
music-making.

all best,

Abigail
