Abstract
The words you will be hearing on this recording are sung in Hebrew, a language evolved and first spoken in the Holy Land; yet the music which accompanies these liturgical texts is European through and through, recalling the cultural ethos not of Palestine but of Venice and Mantua, Avignon and Aix.
