Music Word of the Day: Klezmer
Term: Klezmer
Definition: Musical style characteristic to European
Jewish bands, usually of 3-4 musicians. The word comes from Hebrew: " Kly Zemer " being "a musical instrument ", which was a colloquial way of calling a performing musician in East European Jewish communities. The instruments used are normally a double bass with two melodic instruments, often a violin and a clarinet. Klezmer bands would mainly perform at weddings. Their performance is based mostly on East European Folk musical style, often modified to accommodate shteygers (European Jewish musical modes) which are used in Jewish prayer.
Music Word of the Day
Every day I make an attempt to add a little bit more music knowledge to the Internet, one word at a time. Realizing there aren’t many comprehensive and complete online music dictionaries, I set out on a mission to compile my own.
