A Touch of Klez! was written for flute or alto saxophone solo and concert band. The work is based on three klezmer melodies: “Ani Purim,” “Shlof Mayn Kind,” and “Freilachs Fun L.A.” Klezmer is a form of traditional Yiddish music that originated in Eastern Europe during the Late Middle Ages and was originally intended as music for weddings. In the 20th century, klezmer melodies in Europe were influenced by other music styles; in America, jazz had a notable influence on this compelling music.
