A Klezmer Wedding - for Quartet with opt. String Accompaniment. Quartet with opt. strings. Jeu de parties de cordes (supplémentaire).

Compatible with the following arrangements : 06401 (String Quartet), 08405 (Woodwind Quartet), 08406 (Clarinet Quartet) 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 : Quartet with opt. strings
