Betz - Olshanetsky/Jacob, Bessarabian Hora, trod.. Rozhinkes mit Mandlen - Goldfaden. 4. Cuando el Rey Nimrod When King Nimrod went out into the field, he looked up in the star-filled heavens. There he saw a holy light shining above the Jewish quarter, a sign that Abraham our father had just been born. Abraham, our father. beloved father, blessed father, light of Israel. Henry's Gypsy Medley 5. Whistle Hora - V. Monti 6. Hora - G. Dinicu 7. Hora - S. Lakatos Not the first time that Klezmorlrn have parked their wagons next to Gypsy musicians. A tribute to Sandor Lakatos, Gypsy violinist extraordinaire. 8. Shofar shel Moshiach An instrumental version of Di Yiddishe Hofnung, the Yiddish Hatikva (hope), composed by Abraham Goldfaden on the occasion of the Zionist conference of 1897 in Basel, Switzerland, Famed cantor Yossel Rosenblatt toured Palestine in 1933 singing this melody with the words: Yet when the shofar of the Messiah will sound, Moses will arise from his grave to restore and renew us. Then everyone will exist in peace and friendship together: and unity will be the banner for all. Dance and play, dear brothers and sisters; Israel lives again in happiness. A wonderful thought on the eve of Israel's 50th Anniversary! 9. Di Saposhkele I would sell shoes and ride in a cart-just to be with you! I would sleep on the floor and eat without a table - just to be with you! 10. Trello Hasaposerviko A lively Greek/Serbian dance. 11. Durme (Sephardiac lullaby). Sleep my beautiful one, without pain or sorrow. Listen to the sound of my guitar. Listen to my song. Please look at me, look at my face. If you don't I'II just die! 12. Rumanye, Rumanye - A. Lebedeff/The Lark - G. Dinicu Oh, Rumania, Rumania it was once a tine sweet land. It was a joy to live there. Some corn meal mush, a little pastrami, a sausage and a glass of wine! 13. Kolyn "Coals" from the repertoire of accordionist Mishka Tsiganoff, played as a duet for viola arid guitar. Klezmer music at its most innocent. 14. Abi Gaunt - A. Ellstein, M. Picon: A little sun, a little rain. A peaceful place to rest your head. If you've got your health you'll be happy. Socks and shoes, a dress without patches. In your pocket three or four zlotys. The air is free for all, the sun shines for everyone rich or poor. Some seek wealth and fame, some think that happiness comes only with money. If you've got your health, lady luck is at your door! 15. Double-barrelled Doina/Rumania Rumania was originally recorded by Klezmer greats Dave Taras and Sidney Beckerman. In this version we have Lightstone and Murphy! 16. Ot Azoi Composed and first recorded in the 1920's by the clarinetist Shloimke Beckerman "That's the way it is and it's good like that!" 17. Odessa Bulgar Another Mishka Tsiganoff tune but with the heat turned up. The performances on this CD are fondly dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin J. Bass, a mensch among menschen.
