Additional info/contents	Yiddish Dances was commissioned by Timothy Reynish for his 60th birthday. It is a concert piece that combines two of the composer's great musical passions: symphonic wind ensemble and klezmer - the folk music of the Yiddish-speaking people. The piece is about fourteen minutes long and consists of five movements, all based on set klezmer dances: I. Khosidl - a medium 2/4 tempo in which the music moves between satire, sentimentality and pathos. II. terkishe - a Jewish tango in a fast tempo. III. Doina - a free recitative in which various instruments of the band get a chance to show themselves. IV. Hora - a slow 3/8 time with a characteristic rocking rhythm. V. Freylachs - very fast 2/4 time, in which themes from the previous movements are taken up again and which ends in a boisterous "binge" for all involved.
