DESCRIPTION:
Each number is arranged for C, Bb, Eb and bass clef instruments. Klezmer music originally came from the Jewish ghettoes of Eastern Europe of the 19th and early 20th Centuries. Brass, reed, piano, flute, and string players can receive instant gratification from these entry level arrangements. The accompanying CD demonstrates ensemble versions of all the music, performed at slow tempos, by world class Klezmer artists on clarinet, violin, guitar and bass.. In response to many requests for a simplified version of his highly acclaimed Klezmer Collection, Stacy Phillips has compiled a selection of pieces for beginning instrumentalists from that classic book. These arrangements are based on some of the earliest classic recordings in Europe and America. The style reflects its mix of heritages from Europe, Near East and Gypsy. As such, they are a great introduction to this music which is now a world-wide phenomenon

JanG said Easy Klezmer Music. Although this book is written primarily for violin, flute, and other "one line melody" instruments (a clarinet and tuba would be helpful), several of my family members and I have used it to play some really fun music with an odd assortment of instruments. Even though there is no keyboard in Klezmer music, I have been able to adapt a piano or electric keyboard to play either rhythm or melody without it sound. "Just what I was looking for!" according to Synergy. I play the mandolin, a C instrument, and find these wonderful tunes very accessible! I'm glad the chords are shown, and the CD is great, too.. Good for beginners I am totally a beginner when it comes to Klezmer - in fact, I had never attempted to play any Klezmer until now. I found this book to be exactly what I needed to get started. Having the CD to play along with makes a huge difference.
