Abstract
This research aims to offer historical and cultural analysis of the Israeli music that formed in the new settlement period. An analysis of selected compositions demonstrates the successful
integration of Western and Eastern modes with folk elements into an interesting new sound. The
purpose of this project is to contribute to the classical guitar repertoire by arranging these songs
for the instrument. The date for this project was gathered from a collection of ten quintessential
composers of the period and their work. The compilation serves as a pedagogical tool for the
instrument. This didactical repertoire for the guitar will expand the classical canon by the
inclusion of non-Western composers.
