Yuval - Studies of the Jewish Music Research Center, vol. 5 - The Abraham Zvi Idelsohn Memorial Volume

The fifth volume of Yuval, a publication of the Centre for Jewish Music Research, was dedicated to the memory of Abraham Zvi Idelsohn, the "father of Jewish music research." The volume is divided into two sections. The first, "Biography and Bibliography," contains documentary and bibliographical items related to Idelsohn's life and work. The second section, "In Idelsohn's Footsteps," contains fourteen scholarly papers related to Idelsohn's areas of research and interests. The first section includes an in depth annotation of Idelsohn’s Thesaurus of Hebrew Oriental Melodies prepared by Eliyahu Schliefer. His notes include several important references to the Hava Nagila melody published in both Volume IX and X of the Thesaurus.
