Among his many compositions with liturgical or folkloric characteristics, one can recall the Sacred Service (New York, 1954), orchestral suites, psalms, as well as harmonizations of traditional songs.
He published a collection of Sephardic Songs (London, 1958) and has wrote essays on Jewish music in several scientific publications.
