Album Descriptionsix original compositions extend and preserve the glorious 500 year tradition of klezmer music. From rollicking clarinet, trombone and accordion tunes, to music with tsimbl - the Jeiwhs hammered dulcimer your ancestors might have been married to - this album ranges from freylekhs (faster dance tunes), Romanian horas collected by the Moldavan clarinetist German Goldenshteyn, tunes collected by the Soviet-era ethnomusicologist Moshe Beregovski, waltzes (Russian and newly composed) and nigunim (wordless melodies), one of them written by the first Lubavitch Rebbe.
