December 22, 2006, Newsletter Issue #118: Music in the Bible

Tip of the Week

The melodies of ancient Israelite music are lost because they were passed down orally through the generations. The scriptures often convey scenes of victory, worship, mourning or joy with the sounds of singing and playing musical instruments.

The Bible ascribes the invention of music to Jubal and mentions music as part of the religious practices of Israel.

The temple orchestra was said to have included a large choir, a great number of stringed instruments and cymbals for percussion.
