Klezmer Music (influences chart)

[Hope Ehn Dennis Ehn <ehn...>]

Having made this chart at the request of a fellow musicologist, I decided
to post it on the list for the perusal of anyone else who would find it
useful.

This is an ASCII version of the chart printed in "The Klezmer Recorder
Band," a collection of (untexted) arrangements of Klezmer music for four
recorders that I published in 1984. There is also a second (untexted) book
of similar arrangements, "The Lower East Side Recorder Band,"  published
in 1988. Both collections are still in print. For purchasing information,
send inquiries to Von Huene Workshop, <vonhuene (at) world(dot)std(dot)com>.

I am presently working on two more collections of Jewish music arranged
for recorders, with alternate parts for string quartet. "Yom Tov: The
Jewish Holiday Songbook" will contain songs with Hebrew and/or Yiddish
text for the Sabbath, the Festivals, and patriotic holidays. "Sefarad:
The Ladino Song Book" will contain songs from the Ladino repertory, with
Ladino texts. I hope to finish these books before Passover. When they are
ready, I will announce them on this list.
