Easy Klezmer Tunes was created in response to many requests for a simplified version of Stacy Phillips' highly acclaimed "Klezmer Collection". Phillips has compiled a selection of pieces for beginning instrumentalists from that classic book. Klezmer music originally came from the Jewish ghettoes of Eastern Europe of the 19th and early 20th Centuries. The style reflects its mix of heritages from Europe, Near East and Gypsy. These arrangements are based on some of the earliest classic recordings in Europe and America. As such, they are a great introduction to this music which is now a world-wide phenomenon. Each number is arranged for C, Bb, Eb and Bass Clef instruments. Brass, Reed, Piano, Flute and String players can receive instant gratification from these entry level arrangements. The accompanying audio demonstrates ensemble versions of all the music, performed at slow tempos, by world class Klezmer artists on Clarinet, Violin, Guitar and Bass. Includes access to online audio.

This volume contains favourite Israeli, Hassidic and liturgical songs as well as selections for the Sabbath and Festivals. The arranger, Albert Rozin, has created sensitive settings which are easy to play but which do not sacrifice the flavour of the original harmonies. Organists and guitar players will find little difficulty in playing the songs harmonically by using the chord symbols indicated in the music. Complete with lyrics. / Piano/Vocal/Guitare (PVG) (Avec Grille D'Accords)

Klezmer Miniatures has been compiled for young musicians who, by playing an instrument, would like to become acquainted with the musically varied world of Klezmer. The series comprises two duos, four trios and two quartets, which can be performed with different combinations of instruments - violin, clarinet, flute, cello, double bass, bass guitar and trumpet. The composer, Ferenc Jávori, is a major figure of world music in Europe and is a prolific composer, orchestrator and performer. He is the founder and leader of the Budapest Klezmer Band. Jávori was born into a Hungarian-Jewish community in Munkács (Mukacheve, Ukraine), where the years before the Second World War witnessed a golden age of Klezmer, the traditional, instrumental folk music of Yiddish-speaking Jewish communities. He has collected and compiled numerous melodies and songs from the last representatives of this formerly vibrant musical culture. Each of the Klezmer Miniatures reflects a different traditional genre of Klezmer. In these pieces Jávori has used certain motifs from Moisei Beregosky's folk music collection. / 2 Violons
