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
lords), Farshpetykung (Lateness), Fardreyte Mayse (A crooked story),
Far Yentele (For Yentel), Far Khosn-Kale (For bride and groom),
Farshtopte Kep (Closed heads), and Farn Oylem (For the audience). |

CD476: Old Wine, New Bottles.
Floyd
Williams clarinet and bass clarinet with JANUS (piano,
double bass, viola, alto saxophone and tenor voice). Move Records,
2010. This disc by Floyd Williams & JANUS illustrates the cross
fertilisation of folk/popular and jazz genres that occur in classical
music. The original premise was to play early music (14th - 16th
centuries) on modern instruments without regard for any historian's
"purist" concerns. This approach was also used for the songs of Leonard
Cohen where they were arranged by the very talented Jonathan Henderson
for a chamber music ensemble. This was taken further by the songs being
sung in a manner closer to art song or lieder. I also thought it would
be interesting to juxtapose the Cohen songs with earlier songs by
Machaut and Josquin in order to emphasise what they have in common as
regards the concerns expressed in the texts (the pain of love,
jealousy, and betrayal). Morton Gould Benny's
Gig for Clarinet
and Double Bass; Guillaume de Machaut Phyton le Mervilleus Serpent;
Leonard Cohen Famous
Blue Raincoat and Hallelujah; Josquin Des Prez Mille Regretz; Wm.
Thomas McKinley Blue Jeans (an assortment of blues and "things");
Elway Bevin Browning; Christopher Tye Sit
Fast; Maschwitz, Sherwin and Strachey A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley
Square; Khai-Wei Choong Logic in
Transit; and Gustavo Beytelmann 8 Airs autour du Tango (Nos. 4,
6, and 8). |
