>From the Booklet

In this CD we are presenting Klezmer music as close to the way it sounded in 
its original wedding day context as possible. Of course we couldn't include 
the 8-day wedding in its entirety, but we have been able to produce the main 
musical pillars of the celebration day in order to lead the listener through 
its various stages. So if you listen to the CD from start to finish, you will 
be taken from the escorting of the family, to the veiling of the bride, to 
hear the badkhn [master of ceremonies and wedding jester]1 and musicians 
eliciting tears from both bride and groom. Then you will hear them march to 
the ceremony, after which the musicians will invoke the souls of the deceased 
parents, eventually marching away from the ceremony to the banquet. You will 
hear the greeting of the guests at table, an instrumental prayer for the 
religious, followed by the ritual dance for the bride and then a solo piece 
of classically wrought musical entertainment followed by a dance for all. To 
end the evening you will hear an improvised rendition of prayer themes 
followed by a reminder to the guests of the importance of the wedding, a 
waltz and finally a lively dance to move the guests home. 

Remember, the sale price of $12.98, which includes shipping, runs through 
June 15th, and the Cds will be shipped out in approximately 2 weeks. 

We accept Visa & Mastercharge
