Ancient Hebrew biblical music

Ancient Hebrew biblical music occupies a profoundly religious and spiritual space within Israel’s biblical tradition. Far from serving a purely ornamental or entertainment function, it played a key role in communal worship, ceremonial life, and the expression of faith. The psalms, prayers, and songs preserved in Scripture reflect a rich theological understanding of song as a medium for encountering the divine, articulating communal identity, and preserving a shared memory of God’s intervention in history.

Today, we can connect with this rich musical heritage through recordings that bring the ancient words and tunes to life. On this page you can watch and listen to a collection of video recordings — from a Yemenite pronunciation of a biblical prayer, to the Shabbat song Lecha Dodi, to musical interpretations of Psalm 104, the Song of Solomon, and a piece reflecting on the soul — each offering a vivid window into how these traditions may have sounded in antiquity and how they continue to inspire and nourish faith today.
