"Love klezmer clarinet? How about a whole ensemble of klezmer clarinets? Odessa Bulgar is a traditional klezmer tune arranged for clarinet choir that is from the city of Odessa in southwest Ukraine. A bulgar is a dance and distinctive rhythm that is common in Central and Eastern European Jewish music and believed to originate in Bessarabia (now Moldova), where northest Romania meets Ukraine. The groove that starts at measure 20 is the bulgar rhythm that underpins the tune. The arrangement starts with a mysterious doina-like intro and then breaks into a fast dance tune complete with some humor and klezmer embellishments, trills and more. Each clarinet part in the ensemble has solo interjections as well as opportunities for improvisation and optional to stand up for the solo for added fun. Please be mindful of the articulations and dynamics they will really add to the excitement of the piece. Lastly, like so much Jewish music there is this balance of sadness and joy, music that is heart wrenching despair balanced with sheer joy and levity. Feel free to have the musicians add their own embellishments to create their own musical story." -
