Goodnick Westenholz Joan, Yossi Maurey, and Edwin Seroussi eds. Music in Antiquity - The Near East and the Mediterranean. Yuval - Studies of the Jewish Music Research Center, vol. 8. Berlin, Boston; Jerusalem: De Gruyter Oldenbourg; Hebrew University Magnes Press, 2014.
Music was one component of the cultural continuum that developed in the contiguous civilizations of the ancient Near East and of Greece and Rome. This book covers the range and gamut of this symbiosis, as well as scrutinizes archeological findings, texts, and iconographical materials in specific geographical areas along this continuum. The book, VIII of Yuval – Studies of the Jewish Music Research Centre at the Hebrew University, provides an updated scholarly assessment of the rich soundscapes of ancient civilizations.
