JEWISH MIDI MUSIC

Jewish music reflects the history of the Jewish people and the places of the world in which they have lived.  There is not just one sound, but many.  Similarly, the languages in which Jewish people have sung are many, and reflect their wide dispersion.   Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino, German, English, Spanish -- Jewish music has always been sung in the tongues of their host lands.

This page contains hyperlinks to a number of beautiful Jewish melodies which have been recorded using midi technology.  You must have a sound card installed in your computer to use this resource.  To hear a melody, merely click on the hyperlink of your choice.  A new media player is opened each time you access a selection.  To avoid accumulating them on your desktop, each time you are finished listening to a selection, close the player by clicking the "x" in its upper right corner,

We are indebted to the composers, and the men and women at members.aol.com/israelmidi/index.html -- for their continuing labors of collecting and making available this fine music.   Be sure to honor all copyrights as noted.
