by Harold Seletsky
$12.00

Available for the first time! Composed by klezmer great, Harold Seletsky, and winner of the 1997 American Society for Jewish Music Competition, this work fuses the unbridled joyousness of traditional klezmer with the complexity and demands of true chamber music.  Also suitable for clarinet soloist with string orchestra.  Award Citation from ASJM reads, "Seletsky has written an extraordinary work that pulls out all the stops for the klezmer player".

On a trip to Thailand to visit one of my sons I found myself in a bagel shop owned by a transplanted New Yorker--I felt I just had to write some music to capture the moment.  This is a klezmer freylekh but with a few quarter tones thrown in.  It is performed here by my ensemble, Big Galut(e).

This is an original song I composed with lyrics adapted from a Yiddish poem by Kadya Molodowsky. "Efent dem Toyer" translates as "Open the Gates". This song also has a good "Yai Dai Dai" chorus perfect for sing-alongs.
