It is characterized as a sweet and pleasant conduit of glad- ness and delight (Ps. 45:9; 81:3). In Isaiah 24:8, the Instrument of Joy “merriment of the kinnor” is stilled as punishment for the people’s transgressions (24:8). And the single verse linking the instrument to lamentation, “So my lyre is given to mourning” (Job 30:31), is not a literal depiction Dear Friends, of musical accompaniment, but a metaphor suggesting that at times of deepest sorrow even the joyous tones Musical instruments were an important part of the cultural of the kinnor turn melancholy. These citations and more makeup of ancient Israel. Sixteen instruments or instrument led musicologist Alfred Sendrey to conclude that the groupings are cited in the Bible, appearing in numerous sa- kinnor was “a dispenser of joy at merry banquets, at cred and secular settings.

Yet, while the text provides no clear indication as to their shapes, sizes, sounds, This jubilant quality comes through in Psalm 92.

In other instances, audience, simply using the term kinnor was enough to they appear in the body of the psalms, usually in descrip- signify the psalm’s ecstatic intent. tions of praise offerings. An example of this is Psalm 92, a song for the Sabbath day (Mizmor shir l’yom ha-Shabbat). Its This has relevance for our own day.

Attentive congregations seek to capture the spirit sign. Along with these devotional words is passing reference of the text, choosing musical settings that reflect its to three instruments: asor, nevel and kinnor. elated mood. In so doing, they not only uphold the psalmist’s objective, but also capture the joyful essence Although it is widely agreed that these instruments belong of the kinnor without it ever being played. to the string family, there is uncertainty surrounding the asor and nevel. Only the kinnor appears in enough passages Best Regards, and with enough supporting information to give an idea of what it was—namely a type of lyre. Still, the kinnor exhibits many of the issues involved in the positive identification of biblical instruments. Research into the origins and charac- teristics of the kinnor is too voluminous to summarize here, Cantor Jonathan Friedmann but it is worth noting that no authentic picture of the instru- ment has been found among ancient ruins. Added to this, the term kinnor may have been used in connection with more than one instrument, or may in some places be a gen- eral term for stringed instruments. Despite these and other vagaries, sources from Josephus to modern-day musicolo- gists concur that it was some version of a lyre. 3 OUR CHAZZAN IS NOW CANTOR DR.

  • Music in the Bible by Theodore W
    Music in the Bible By Theodore W. Burgh Music is an essential element of ancient and modern cultures. It often shapes chronological periods, as did the Motown recordings of the 1960’s and 70’s, and marks what we grieve and celebrate. While many of the uses of music in the ancient Near East are similar to those of today, the sound and experience of music in ancient times was different. It is hard for us to imagine not being able to pull music from the air and download it upon request. In antiquity, people only heard music in live musical performances. Nothing was recorded, sampled, mixed, or mass-marketed. Although we don’t know how ancient music sounded, judging from the ways it was used we do know that music was important then as it is now. By studying the ancient remains of instruments, descriptions of musical activity in texts like the Bible, and artistic representations, we gain valuable information about these enigmatic past societies and peoples—from aspects of relationships between men and women, the types of instruments used in sacred and secular performances, and occasions when music was performed. A glance at several biblical stories reveals the importance of music in the daily life of antiquity. For instance, writers describe how people used music to express an array of emotions, convey valuable information, and entertain. Moreover, there are numerous ceremonies and celebrations in the Bible where musical performance was a major part. Several passages contain descriptions of actual instruments, names of musicians, as well as places and times music was played.

  • A Compendium of Musical Instruments and Instrumental Terminology in the Bible
    CRITICAL REVIEW A Compendium of Musical Instruments and Instrumental Terminology in the Bible Yelena Kolyada; translated from Russian by the author with the assistance of David J. Clark. A Compendium of Musical Instruments and Instrumental Terminology in the Bible. London: Equinox, 2009. 304 pp. $140.00. Hardcover. ISBN: 9781845534097. Compendium of Musical Instruments and Instrumental Terminology in the Bible is an English translation and adaptation of a doctoral thesis written in Russian and published in 2003 by Kompozitor in Moscow. The author seeks to answer the question, “What did the instruments that are referred to in the Bible and TanakhA look or sound like?” To answer this question, she draws upon numerous fields of study, such as history, philology, archaeology, and musicology. It is necessary to synthesize from various fields because neither the Tanakh nor the Old Testament defines the instruments—these sacred books simply use the musical terms. In addition, the passage of the centuries has fostered the evolution of the musical terms and definitions. For example, when the Hebrew term “kinnor” is mentioned, one might see it translated as “harp” (KJV) or “lyre” (RSV), and yet a different instrument called “nevel” is also translated as “harp” (RSV) or “lyre” (NIV). Not only are harps and lyres different from each other, present-day harps and lyres also are different from ancient harps and lyres. This book details the differences between a “kinnor” and a “nevel,” thus giving the reader possession of a more accurate assessment of the appearance and sound of these instruments in biblical times. After providing an overview of references to instrumental music in the Bible in chapter one, the author devotes chapters two through four to the major classes of instruments: plucked strings, winds, and percussion.

  • Indus Musicians in Mesopotamia
    1 Indus Musicians in Mesopotamia 2 Bull Lyre of Indus Valley and 90 words that Harappans 3 May Have Spoken 4 5 Shail Vyas 6 Homi Bhabha Fellow, Mumbai 7 8 [email protected] 9 10 11 12 13 Abstract 14 15 Human is a musical creature. It is seen ubiquitously through times and spaces 16 that a certain percentage of human population is always musically inclined 17 irrespective of their profession. Music is also an integral part of many social 18 activities humans generally observe like religious practices, marriages, deaths 19 and what more. Due to the possible presence of Harappan population in 20 Mesopotamia, it may be surmised that a number of Harappan musicians and 21 some of their musical instruments could also have reached there. In this 22 investigation, crucial help could also come from the fact that many a times, 23 names of musical instruments travel with them. 24 25 26 On account of a very likely possibility of such an occurrence, a study of 27 archaeological and Sumerian textual records in Mesopotamia was strongly 28 suggestive of a significant presence of Harappan musicians and musical 29 instruments in Mesopotamia. In fact, study of Sumerian text has shown that 30 about 30 musical terminologies out of a total of nearly 60, in the categories such 31 as names of instruments, singers, names of songs and even musical notations, 32 etc. in Sumerian (PSD) are found to be phonetically and semantically very similar 33 to ancient Indian terms with some “Sumerianization”. The study also 34 demonstrated certain patterns in the way words were sumerianized.

  • The Biblical Nebel*
    Catalog TOC <<Page>> THE BIBLICAL NEBEL* Bathja Bayer, Jerusalem The nebel, mentioned 27 times in the Bible, is generally supposed to have been a harp, and probably of the upper­chested type (i.e. with the resonator held upright against the body of the player).1 We have been led to doubt this for several reasons, of which three seemed to be the most important. First ­ the sources did not necessarily prove the nebel to have been a harp, if one did not assume a priori that they ought todo so. Secondly ­ the archaeo­ logical evidence now available for the Syropalaestinian area showed no repre­ sentations of harps before the hellenistic period; those that then appeared were few in number, and in both form and context belonged to the "cosmo­ politan" hellenistic background.2 Even granting the random factors of survival and discovery a correspondence between "textual" and "material" frequency was evident for most of the other identiifable Biblical instruments such as tof (frame drum), mesiltayim (cymbals) and ­ most important ­ kinnor (lyre). How could this silence of the archaelogical record be explained for the supposed nebel = harp ?One could not but be remindedof the curious incident of the dog in the night­time ("The dog did nothing in the night­time." ­ "That was the curious incident", remarked Sherlock Holmes). Lastly ­ some of the most "decisive5' sources did not seem to be in the nature of evidence at all, although it was they which were supposed to prove the equation ofnebel=harp. They were much later than the Biblical or even the Second Temple period (Hieronymus at the beginning of the iffth century CE, or Se'adyah Ga'on in the ninth!), and therefore belonged to the history of exegesis.
