Irish born and bred, Shiksa by marriage, Klezmer-wannabe

 

Here's a tune for an irish klezmer player The Klezmer Reel ... An EC player at our local session always plays this (and currently plays it solo, but I'm starting to pick it up now (ps I think there's a gsharp missing in the notation here, just sharpen all the low gs and none of the high ones! ))

Thanks, I really like this tune. I worked out my own chords, which I think are in the proper Klezmer tradition. Here is a short GIF file of the score, with my fake chords edited in. Enjoy, and please comment on my harmonies -- Mike K.

Oops, I forgot to insert the corrrection noted above: Put a sharp on the G in the first strain's 1st ending's last measure (under the n/c chord sign). I think it sounds more klezmer-ish that way, but of course everyone can play it the way they prefer. --Mike K.
