The Absolutely Complete Klezmer Songbook (Paperback)

Renowned ethnomusicologist, documentarian, and klezmer musician Yale Strom teamed up with Transcontinental Music to create an exhaustive compilation of nigunim, horas, bulgars, and more. This songbook features melody lines and chords for 313 songs including many collected from the field by Strom himself in Eastern Europe and published here for the first time, plus a number of exclusive, out-of-print lost treasures not available anywhere else. Strom also provides a thorough, extensive written history and perspective of klezmer, complete with a glossary and archival photos. The CD includes 36 of the songs found in the book recorded by Strom and his band Hot Pstromi.

Review This Product

Excellent reference book for Klezmer

Wed, 21 Feb 2018 | Review by: Jeff

This is the best quality music book I've seen. It has 335 tunes with 36 transposed for Bb at the back of the book. The 36 tunes are on the audio CD which is included. There is a good introduction with photographs and a glossary included which explains the Yiddish terms and names.
