“Suita Românească“ -- live from the Transylvanian synagogue tour

More videos from the synagogue tour coming soon! Please subscribe so you see them when they come out : ) An epic suite of four tunes inspired by klezmer and Romanian music: 1 - Goldenshteyn învârtita: inspired by a klezmer tune I learned from Naum Goldenstein which was collected by his uncle, the legendary German Goldenshteyn. 2- Bapolyer hârțag: inspired by the klezmer tune we know as “Bapolyer (or Bagopolier) freylekhs“ 3- Sirba: an original sirba 4- Doina: an original doina The sirba and doina were composed in December 2023 at Hambidge Center for the Creative Arts in Georgia, USA. If anyone has any ideas for names for those tunes, please comment below! Recorded June 23, 2024 in Sighetu Maramației, Romania.
