She is mainly known for her research to reconstruct the ancient Jewish music. Her magnum opus is the book Music of the Bible Revealed where she describes the results of her research. Her theory is mainly based on the idea that te'amim (the traditional cantillation marks of the Hebrew bible) were originally a musical notation whose the original meaning was lost. It took her years of to establish a key of decipherment. Thank to this key, she was able to reconstruct what she claimed to be the original melodies of the bible. She made several recordings based on her reconstructions. Mezzo-soprano : Marie-Laur
