A Klezmer Wedding - string quartet. Partition et parties.

A Klezmer Wedding is a set of four dances, newly-composed but based on traditional models. The Doina is an expressive chant for three successive soloists ; it twists and turns with the wailing lament of a shepherd's pipe. Next follows the Hora, a slow Rumanian dance in three with a mood that reflects the wedding's solemn vows. A Chusidl, with a moderate speed and bouncy rhythms, gets the party to the dance floor.
The concluding Freylach (happy, but still in a minor key ! ) takes the bride, groom, and guests to the edge of frenzy. Instrumentation : string quartet
