One of Tsippi Fleischer’s main areas of focus, one that reflects her deep personal commitment to her homeland (and is related to her ideology in the field of education) is the study of the Hebrew Song as reflecting the demography and history of the Yishuv and the State of Israel, and “cultivating memory of the Israeli and Jewish entity” as she defines.

Her interest in the Hebrew Song began when she was a teenager at the Reali School in Haifa. Her final high school project,The Historical Development of the Hebrew Folksong (submitted in 1964), was a study broad in scope, the first of its kind in Israel, on the history of the Hebrew Song. The work eventually received recognition as a valid ethno-musicological study and was ultimately published in a thick volume. The book surveys musical styles, combining the historical background of songs from the beginning of the pioneering settlement in Israel, songs from the “state-in-progress” and songs from the first years of the young state, together with rare musical illustrations and an index of the beginnings of melodies. In addition, the book includes musical analysis of songs and many interviews with artists – poets and writers, composers and performers.

Fleischer expanded her scope in this field and has published additional studies of the Hebrew Song including:The Giants of the Kibbutz in Hebrew Folksong: Matityahu Shelem, David Zehavi, Yehuda Sharet;The Emek: A Dream - Songs of the Jezreel Valley;From the 50s to the 60s: The Changeover in Hebrew Song: 1957-1964, and others.

In 2005, Fleischer published the two volumes of her bookHarmonization of Songs, which are the fruit of dozens of years of research and teaching in the realm of Harmonization and the Israeli Song. In the self-teaching textbook, which became a central tool for performers, educators, song composers and arrangers across Israel, Fleischer presents a unique musical-cultural methodology for analyzing Hebrew songs melodies, inspired by the pioneering work of the composers and ethnomusicologists Bela Bartok and Zoltán Kodály in the field of folk song.

The year 2013 saw the publication of Tsippi Fleischer’s expansive studyMatti Caspi – The Magic and the Enigma, in which she lays out the rich and unique harmonic world of the composer and performer Matti Caspi, based on an in-depth analysis of 40 of his songs, at the same time dealing with the layers of his life and the musical influences, from Israel and outside of Israel, that operated on him. The analyses of the songs attribute great importance to the texts to which the melodies are set. The study includes two editions: an expanded three-volume edition, which was given as a gift to the main music libraries in Israel, and a one-volume edition for distribution in bookstores. Another of Tsippi Fleischer’s broad studies that will be published in the future is a chronological continuation of her book from 1964 on the styles of the Hebrew Song through the end of the second decade of the third millennium.
