Loving this. Any time you bring in klezmer, dance, early music, I’m IN. In fact, maybe I’ll play the bear tune in concert in a few weeks as it’s a duo with cimbalom and I think it shall be nice!
Fascinating, especially the info about Jewish dance masters. But I'm (still) musing, as I arrange Purim tunes, how different these are from the music I usually hang out with (lol). I mean like going from Lewandowski to stuff that's equivalent to the Bear Dance! Don't get me wrong - I love medieval music of any stripe. I think the harangue of the Christian musician's guild is hysterical! Though I also find the translation hysterical - would love to see the German original.
In any event, great and very informative post as usual - thanks!!
