"Reading the present book makes us understand that the Bible is the oldest and clearest documentary attestation of the existence of music, a fact that we observe from the first Book of the Old Testament to the last Book of the New Testament. The meaning of musical instruments and their multiplication, according to the need to express a meaning, followed the course of historical events and the Jewish people's approach to the True God. Thus, the Levites (musicians) enjoyed a great consideration, having a special status not only in religious ritual, but also in society." Univ. Prof. Dr. Bianca Maria Carmen Predescu
