Originally the wedding and festive music of Eastern European Jews, klezmer spread around the world with emigration to America and is sometimes combined with other musical styles such as jazz, pop, rock or ska. Klezmer music is characterized by its melody lines reminiscent of the human voice, which create a sobbing sound.
If you want to dive deeper into the musical world of klezmer, De Haske Play Klezmer! is a good choice. The music book contains twelve classical klezmer pieces for tenor saxophone, giving curious musicians an insight into this fascinating genre. The edition is particularly suitable for advanced players, as the medium-difficult arrangements are already a bit more challenging. For a better overview and orientation, furthermore audio recordings with solo part and the accompaniment of each piece are available for download.
