These 32 traditional Klezmer tunes are arranged for two instruments, with chords for back-up musicians included. The handy program notes will help you decide whether each tune is good for dancing, or for particular events in a Jewish wedding, etc. A source list is included to encourage further research.
Each Tunes for Two collection consists of individual spiral-bound duet books presented in score form with melody on the top line and harmony beneath so you can play each tune by yourself or with others. Duo arrangements of the tunes in this collection, in the same keys, are available for violins, violas, cellos, basses, mandolins, soprano recorders, and alto recorders.
The tunes in this collection are laid out so that there are no page turns to interrupt the flow of your playing.
PDFs are available worldwide for each of the books in the Tunes for Two series.
A companion CD that may be used with any of the books for any of the instruments in this series is also available.
The Klezmer Fiddle Tunes for Two CD features Deborah Greenblatt performing all of the tunes in The Klezmer Fiddle Tunes for Two series books on 5-string viola. The melody part comes out of one stereo speaker and the harmony part comes out of the other speaker. By adjusting your stereo’s balance or pan control you can isolate either part so you can play the other part along with it. This CD may be used with any of the books for any of the instruments in the The Klezmer Fiddle Tunes for Two series.
