DAVID, ERNEST (1825–1886), French writer on music. David was born in Nancy and died in Paris. His works include an essay on Jewish music, La Musique chez les Juifs (1873). The first part deals with the instruments in the Bible, the second with the post-biblical music of the synagogue. With M. Lussy, he wrote Histoire de la notation musicale depuis ses orgines, including non-European systems of notation. This work was awarded a prize by the Institut de France and published in 1882.
