Study Score No. 146-This composition was inspired and originally titled according to a romantic vision of the Far East (which Ernest Bloch had never visited). At one time the suite had a set of descriptive titles which begun with In the Jungle (Life in the Primitive World)- at attempt to portray Nature in its wildest and most primitive state. The second movement was known as 'Grotesque (Simian Stage)' - it is sardonic and fantastic. The third movement was was inspired by the tales of a close friend about a night-time journey through Javanese villages from which could be heard the distant sound of wooden musical instruments. The finale originally Land of the Sun (China) was Bloch said the most cheerful thing I ever wrote. It is based on pentatonic motives (like a common Chinese scale) and also recalls music from the other movements.This is the full score of this work.

A fabulous work of chamber music by Swiss composer Ernest Bloch completed in 1924. At its heart Bloch's Jewish music is emotional expressionist and despite a slow sombre mood is coloured by an exotic ambience which reflects his increasingly Jewish voice. For Cello with Piano accompaniment Prayer has an atmosphere of intense sadness and inward feeling and the three pieces here are far less linked with virtuosity than with the power of expression and faith.

For 5 voices and orchestra-This symphony from Bloch's 'Jewish Period' evokes two Jewish traditional celebrations 'Yom Kippur' (Day of Atonement) and 'Succoth' (Celebration of Harvest). It does this not by using traditional Jewish melodies or musicalfeatures; but explores Judaism spiritually. Bloch himself provided notes for the New York Philarmonic 1943 performance of the symphony: 'Though a single unit the symphony falls into three sections. A slow introduction Adagio molto ('Prayer in the Desert') is immediately followed by the Allegro agitato ('Yom Kippur') with a main theme of bold barbaric character...A short transition leads into the second part Moderato ('Succoth')which after a fierce climax brings in the voice...This second part of the work is more contemplative serene a kind of prayer.' This is the Schirmer edition of the full score.
