This is a journey through four styles of music: funk, jazz, klezmer, and tango. The jazz style is a breezy West-Coast jazz waltz and the klezmer music is an arrangement of Abraham Goldfaden's 1880 Jewish lullaby, Rozhinkes Mit Madlen (Raisins With Almonds). Titles: Funky * Jazz Waltz * Klez Rozhinkes mit Mandlen * Tango.

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.

Titles: Chusidl * Doina * Hora * Freylach.
