A Klezmer Wedding by Mike Curtis 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.

This rhapsody, based on Eastern European music and Klezmer, contains four main themes: a waltz, a dance on asymmetrical rhythms, followed by a slow but expressive movement, and a brilliant finale with Mediterranean influences including an improvisational part.
