Perpetuum Mobile, meaning perpetual motioni, is a Latin term that describes an impossible situation in which a substance has infinite energy. This situation is impossible because it violates the first and second laws of Newton.
But it is possible in music. Imagine a musical piece that is a continuous stream of notes. These are exactly the etudes in this album. They do not stop, they are always in motion and they can be played continuously.
Etudes are solo pieces, purposed to help the musician practice his technique. In this album, each etude is designed to practice another technique.
In addition, the etudes in this album are arranged according to the circle of fifths - each etude ends in a key which is dominant to the beginning of the next etude, even the last etude to the first one, and so on and so forth. This further emphasizes the infinite mobility of the music in this piece.
Once you enter the loop, you can't get out of it. All the etudes start in a minor key, as a symbol of the sadness of the matter, and end in a major key, to represent the hope, a false hope, that perhaps the next etude will take you out of the loop.
This album is a three-year-long project, in which I gathered ideas from the environment in which I live, from the people in it and from their thoughts, from life that continues all the time, and the music that will never stop.

This is a wonderful collection of klezmer music, inspired by the Jewish dances and songs of the klezmorim from Eastern Europe - from the lyrical HORA to the fast, compelling FREILACH. Some of the pieces have a second part ad libitum - for playingtogether or for variation in a repeat. For the accompaniment, chord symbols have been added and on the included CD there are complete versions as well as play-along versions of all pieces, played live by genuine klezmer musicians.

Ook de invloed van de nieuwere Israëlische volksmuziek la Giora Feidman is hoorbaar. Sommige stukken hebben een tweede stem ad libitum - voor samenspel of ter afwisseling bij herhaling. Voor de begeleiding zijn akkoordsymbolen toegevoegd - en op de bijgevoegde cd staan van alle stukken mooie demo- én play-along-versies, die live zijn ingespeeld door rasechte klezmermuzikanten.

Judas Maccabeus became one of Handel's most popular oratorios during his lifetime after its London premier in 1747. The recitative and aria is from late in the work and is a reminder to the house of Judah to not fear the nations that defy the Israelites; that God will defend and be the friend of Zion. This lyrical arrangement of about seven minutes in length by Stan Pethel is appropriate for intermediate level Tubists or Bass Trombonists.
