Anglo Music Press Three Klezmer Miniatures (Grade 4 - Score and Parts) Concert Band Level 4 Composed by Philip Sparke

Klezmer music originated in the shtetl (villages) and ghettos of Eastern Europe, where itinerant Jewish troubadours, known as klezmorim, had performed at celebrations since the early Middle Ages.

Tumbalalaika, a Russian Jewish love song. 3. Hava Nagila, the most famous of all Jewish folk dances; the title means let us rejoice. Dur: 7:00 (Grade 4)
