Ardor Castellano, Franz Watz. Concert Band

A KLEZMER KARNIVALDESCRIPTIONKlezmer music originated in the shtetl (villages) and the ghettos of Eastern Europe, where itinerant Jewish troubadours, known as klezmorim, had performed at celebrations, particularly weddings, since the early Middle Ages. Since the 16th century, lyrics had been added to klezmer music, due to the badkhn (the master of ceremony at weddings), to the Purimshpil (the play of Esther at Purim) and to traditions of the Yiddish theatre, but the term gradually became synonymous with instrumental music, particularly featuring the violin and clarinet. In recent years it has again become very popular and in A Klezmer Karnival Philip Sparke has used three contrastingtraditional tunes to form a suite that will bring a true karnival atmosphere to any concert.SPECIFICATIONSComposer Philip SparkeMR-Product Format Score & PartsInstrumentation Concert Band/HarmonieProduct Type SetEuropean Parts Incl. YesSeries Debut SeriesBand Grade of Difficulty Grade 2,5Publisher Anglo Music PressGenreView Description ClassicalYear of Publication 2004Definitive Duration 00:04:45ISMN 9790570291243Edition Number AMP 124No. AMP 124-010
