Second Temple Judaism offered Music a number of interesting subjects. Unlike other media, only very few works of music feature Jesus of Nazareth directly. Most deal with events of biblical history (from the Babylonian Exile, Esther and Judith to the Maccabees, Salome and the Jewish War). When Christian events are reported, it happens through the eyes of historical or fictional characters other than Jesus (such as Mary of Nazareth, Mary Magdalene, Amahl, Judas Iscariot, Caiaphas, Pilate, etc.).
