CD426: Daniel
Galay Klassical Klezmer. Michèle
Gingras, clarinet with Ron Matson
piano., MSR Classics, 2008. Much of Daniel Galay’s output as a composer
revolves around the life, language, and music of the Jews of Eastern
Europe. Yiddish folklore and literature as well as klezmer music have
formed the core of his music in recent years. Each of his books of
klezmer music consists of 18 (for chai – life) selections, and revolves
around a particular theme. The titles of the pieces start with the same
word in Yiddish. For his first book of original klezmer melodies the
composer chose the theme of far – for. Galay’s klezmer varies from
joyous to melancholy, and takes us on a journey to the world of Eastern
European Jewry of a century ago. Unique to Galay’s style is the setting
for clarinet and piano, making performance of klezmer music accessible
to the classical performer. Thus folk meets classical, and the composer
encourages the performer to be creative and seek out new sounds in his
playing. The clarinetist Michèle Gingras has become one of the
premier performers of Galay’s klezmer music. Her sensitive playing
captures the nuances of the music and brings the beautiful tone of the
clarinet to the fore. Sit back, and enjoy the concert! The pieces are:
Far Rivke (For Rivka), Farfelekh (Farfel), Farvelkung (Fading), Far
Pinyes Tekhter (For Pinye's daughters), Far Vos Raboysay? (For what,
gentlemen?), Far Dvoyrele (For Deborah), Farbaysekhts (A snack), Farn
Keyser (For the emperor), Farginer (The benevolent), Far Ale Mol!
(Forever!), Farkatshte Arbl (Folded sleeves), Farputste Lordn (Elegant
