Chevraqis has associated music, I just don't know exactly what it is;
pedant that I am, I would want to *build* the instruments involved.  I
figure scales are tonal or pentatonic in leaning; lithophone,
recorder-style flute, a lute-like instrument, and some sort of drums, at
least, are extant.  Maybe mouth organ as well.  :-)
