Shows how, since the first centuries of the Christian era, gentiles have associated Jews with noise. This book focuses on a 'musical libel' - a variation on the Passion story that recurs in various forms and cultures in which an innocent Christian boy is killed by a Jew in order to silence his 'harmonious musicality'.
