Book of Shelomo Rosovsky; Tora and its cantillation. “Rosowsky’s seminal work, The Cantillation of the Bible: the Five Books of Moses, was published in 1957, providing an analytical theory of Biblical cantillation based on his research of the Lituanian-Israeli tradition. The massive work is broken up into three main sections: the first defines the basic functions of the 28 tropal signs, the second includes his field work results in musical notation, and the third delineates Rosowsky’s original theory of the Law of Assimilation (how tropes are joined) and an analysis of the scalar basis of Shabbat cantillation. ” (Jewish Music Research Centre) Subjects: Cantillation.
