Songs of Grief and Hope: Ancient Western-Sephardi Melodies of Qinot for the Ninth of Av
Persistence and Transformation of a Sephardi - Penitential Hymn under Changing Environmental Conditions
שירי היהודים באי ג'רבה (כתבים מן העיזבון, ב)
The original German version of the epoch-making monograph by Robert Lachmann (published originally in 1942 in English without musical examples and photographs) on the musical culture of the venerable Jewish community from the Island of Djerba, off the southern coast of Tunisia. Reaching far beyond this specific case, which served Lachmann as a kind of pilot project, the book has become a model that scholars may find applicable to other issues in ethnomusicology.
