A Klezmer Wedding is a set of four dances, newly-composed but based on traditional models. 'The Doina' is an expressive chant for three successive soloists; it twists and turns with the wailing lament of a shepherd's pipe. Next follows the 'Hora,' a slow Rumanian dance in three with a mood that reflects the wedding's solemn vows. 'A Chusidl,' with a moderate speed and bouncy rhythms, gets the party to the dance floor. The concluding 'Freylach' (happy, but still in a minor key!) takes the bride, groom, and guests to the edge of frenzy
