Stacy Phillips: Easy Klezmer Tunes Book With Online Audio: Violine Solo

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 forbeginning 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, NearEast 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 isarranged 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 ofall the music, performed at slow tempos, by world class Klezmer artists on Clarinet, Violin, Guitar and Bass. Includes access to online audio.
