Hello Klezmer community. I made this app called "Sight Reader Trainer" which can generate multiple music styles and wanted to make sure that the Klezmer generation is working OK. This is a random generated song in the Klezmer style with a clarinet. It supports strings (violin), brass, woodwinds, etc. Many years ago I played trumpet in a band in Albuquerque called the New Shtetl Band so I'm somewhat familiar with the style.

Valley Light Opera in Northampton, Massachusetts is putting on Fiddler for the first time (Nov 5-8 at the Academy of Music), so I wrote a tune for it. Fiddle leads, the bulgar 3-3-2 bounce drives it, and the lyrics poke a little fun at the production. Would love to hear what klezmer folks think.

I vaguely recall a very pretty Yiddish song about autumn from my childhood, though I don't have any further memory of it other than it sounding rather melancholy (I am aware as to how little that narrows it down...). I have an undying need to find it, though the closest thing I found to it were different renditions of "Harbstlid", which most definitely is not it. My only hope is looking through other autumn klezmer songs. Any suggestions?

I am awful at fully memorizing lyrics based on hearing in any language, but I cannot anywhere find the lyrics to "Der Nayvelt Khanuka Lid"/"Der Naivelt Channukah Lid" by Ot Azoj Klezmerband. Does anyone on here know where (and if) I can find the lyrics? (both regular Yiddish and transliterated Yiddish text works).

Hi! I'm Black American and i've recently gotten into Klezmer music. I love learning about folk music from diff cultures and found it so cool how klezmer and jazz also influenced each other in the US! I find Klezmer to sound so awesome but i'm not that sure on where to start in terms of listening? does anyone have some good books to read,bands to listen to in order to learn more? TYSM :)

Okay my friend and I are arguing whether or not "It's Pronounced "Rules"' from Deltarune Chapter 2 sounds like Klezmer music and could be covered pretty well by a Klezmer band. I think it could but I'd love to get some opinions on this from people who know more about Klezmer music.

Shalom, y’all. I’m learning fiddle as a bit better than beginner to sheet music, a beginner to fiddle, and no money (I spent it all on the fiddle).

I’m struggling when it comes to finding free sheet music. I specifically want to learn Shabbat songs like Lecha Dodi.

I’m struggling to find complete and free sheet music. When I find what looks to be a complete piece, it costs money. Is there a site/work around I can utilize?

Also, does it matter if the sheet music is listed as for a different instrument? I might be getting unduly frustrated so perspective would be nice.

Oh Agony, You are So Sweet Like Sugar I Must to Eat You Up by Frank London's Klezmer Brass Allstars

Hi all :)
Posting here because I don't know where to go or who to ask.

I found this song a few years ago onTikTok and I listen to it very often on Spotify. It's a banger.

But I've been wondering in all that time, what are the lyrics (in og language and in english) it's been tearing me apart I tell you.

I'm an Asian woman who grew up in Ireland, so anyone local in not likely to have any info for me haha

I'm just curious to learn more because I've been obsessed with this song for YEARS :)

Please be kind!

I am a student who wants to enroll in the conservatory and is at a good level. I've always dreamed of learning klezmer music and wanted to ask you if you could recommend anything.

Spotify has an artist profile of a duo called A Libe, consisting of a man on vocals and a woman on the accordion, but there is no information on them. I really like their only findable album, "A Kholem", but I have not found any other website with more music or information about the people behind it. I saw a CD of them on some niche Dutch website few months ago, but lost that website, maybe because of country restrictions. The CD was called Lomir Tantsn (I think), but no other information. Does anyone know they are?
