An introduction to the Tropes (Te'amim) for the cantillation of the Pentateuch, with special emphasis on the Western European (Ashkenazi) musical tradition. Includes historical notes and musical examples.
Covers the emergence of the practice of Western Art Music in European Jewish communities (Italy, Southern France, Amsterdam) prior to the nineteenth century.
