The Suite Hébraïque draws on traditional Jewish sources such as the sound of the shofar's call as Bloch explored his Judaic heritage. The first movement is forceful with barely repressed emotion. A march rhythm and a passionate theme from the viola characterize the second movement titled Processional. The finale Affirmation opens and closes with a full-throated theme over a dance-like lilting rhythm framing a sweet graceful central section. Includes parts for Viola and Violin.

Score and Parts-Bloch was 73 years old when the String Quartet No. 3 was premiered in 1953 by the Griller Quartet. It is far more 'pared-down' than his earlier works and avoids the influence of Jewish music which he was well-known for in workssuch as 'Schelomo' and the 'Suite Hebraique for viola'. The first movement is forceful; trills and stark rhythms predominate whereas the second is more tranquil. Next there is is a strange kind of off-kilter scherzo followed by a finale based on a 12-tone theme. This is the Schirmer edition and contains the Score and Parts.
