Review
?Selection of the 1,220 entries in this bibliography is broadly based on an overview of Jewish music throughout the world and from ancient times to the present. Compiler Irene Heskes has ... restricted her field to English-language publications and music collections that use romanized Yiddish and Hebrew texts. Sections include ones on reference materials, books, articles, periodicals devoted to Jewish music, instruction and performance resources, and anthologies of Jewish music. Entries within the classifications are arranged alphabetically by author and are consecutively numbered. Useful annotations are descriptive rather than evaluative. A glossary of Judaica and author and topical indexes all contribute to a worthy bibliographical tool for musicians and others interested in the Jewish musical heritage.?-Reference Books Bulletin
