Musical Transliteration is a compositional technique whereby a series of notes are generated in direct correlation with a corresponding text. The resulting row of notes is then the basis for composing melody just as a Twelve-tone row is used as a basis for an atonal composition. If the row is used in the exact sequence it has been generated by the text then it is called a 'Linear Transliteration'.
The name 'musical transliteration' has been coined by Australian composer Matthew Dahlitz (ref needed) and utilised in some of his orchestral transliterations of ancient Hebrew texts (ref needed).
