本論文將探討作曲家恩斯特．布洛赫（Ernest Bloch, 1880-1959）兩首猶太風格的作品：《希伯來組曲》（Suite Hébraïque, 1951）及《冥想曲與行進聖歌》（Meditation and Processional, 1951）。布洛赫在1912至1916年間曾於日內瓦以猶太風格為題材寫過《猶太系列》作品，但這兩首作品雖具猶太主題及色彩，卻是作曲家晚年於美國的創作，作品中擁有鮮明的個人特質以及技巧，並且運用了許多的特殊節奏與猶太音樂的風格，使得音樂充滿戲劇變化張力，讓人對布洛赫的音樂留下非常深刻的印象。
本詮釋報告一共分為五章。第一章為緒論，分別為研究動機及研究目的。第二章為布洛赫的《希伯來組曲》，其中分為第一節創作背景及第二節詮釋分析。第三章為布洛赫的《冥想與行進聖歌》，其中分為第一節創作背景及第二節詮釋分析。第四章為行進聖歌的比較，其中對比了曲式、速度、裝飾音群及節奏特徵。第五章為結論。
