SHOW | NEW AND TRADITIONAL JEWISH MUSIC with

MERLIN SHEPHERD [clarinet]

POLINA SHEPHERD [voice and piano]

Merlin & Polina are amongst the world’s leading players of traditional east European klezmer style. And they represent two nations although their families come from very close geographical locations. At the end of the 19th Century, Merlin?s great-grandparents emigrated from Ukraine and Romania to escape pogroms and seek a better life in the west. Polina”s grandparents escaped from the Shoah (Holocaust) by fleeing from Kiev/Odessa to Siberia. The different and yet vital sustenance of his western Jewish upbringing and her eastern one have brought them to a unique closeness in musical, creative and spiritual terms.

With their deep training, musical experience and by using tradition musical pieces, these two world class musicians bring their audiences forward to a deeper understanding of the latter day Yiddishkeit.

Free workshop

UNIRIO  Av. Pasteur, 296 - Urca - RJ

This book/CD fills a historical gap: for the first time the counterpoints created by Pixinguinha’s sax tenor were transcribed and organized with the melody recorded by Benedito Lacerda’s flute. This work was based on the anthological recordings made by the duo.

For this second volume were selected twelve songs. Among these are included the works of other authors, besides those written by Pixinguinha and Benedito Lacerda.

In order to perform the studies with the rhythm section, the twelve tracks were recorded in full and in versions without the flute (melody) and without the tenor sax (counterpoint).

Besides David Ganc (flute and piccolo) and Mário Sève (tenor sax), Márcio Almeida (cavaquinho and banjo), Rogério Souza (seven string guitar) and Celsinho Silva (tambourine and percussion) also play on the record.

This book has scores in C, Bb e Eb (melody and counterpoint), which means it is suitable for all instruments.

• Sample - PDFs Cochichando C - melody and Cochichando Bb - counterpoint and mp3 full version and play-a-long version
  
• Release Photo (150DPI)
  
• Press release (in portuguese)

The first version (in the body of the book) is in C, for non-transposing instruments, with the melody in the treble clef and the counterpoint in the bass clef.

The two other versions attached, in Bb and in Eb, are for the transposing instruments.

In the scores in Eb and the counterpoint in C we made some adaptations in the octaves, or a few changes of notes related to the original melodies, due to the different ranges of the instruments to be used with this book.

This work can be enjoyed by a wide range of musical instruments. Besides the flute, the mandolin, the violin, the piano, the accordion and the oboe (C instruments that read the treble clef), the cello, the piano, the bass, the tuba, the bassoon (in C in the bass clef), the tenor sax, the soprano sax, the clarinet, the bass clarinet, the trumpet (in Bb), the alto sax and the baritone sax (Eb) can also be used.

Thus, the songs can be played with the following suggested duos: flute and tenor sax, soprano sax and tenor sax, violin and cello, trumpet and trombone, mandolin and guitar, clarinet and bass clarinet, oboe and bassoon, accordion and baritone sax; piano and bass; and there are several other possible combinations, as melody and counterpoint are available for all instruments. It should always be remembered that the original duo is the one that joins the flute (an octave higher) and the tenor sax, and they sound two octaves distant. Therefore, where possible, other formations must respect this relationship.

It’s also important to remark that, as it’s usual in the language of choro, the performers play each repetition differently, ornamenting and embellishing the melodic phrases. In his live performances, Pixinguinha always improvised new counterpoints, displaying all his genius.

On the duo’s recordings some counterpoints were consolidated. In this book’s selected songs the best versions of each part were chosen (A, B and C), sometimes merging phrases played on several repetitions.

Also note that if you place your sound system’s pan to the right side, you’ll hear the flute and the rhythm section without the sax, and you’ll be able to practice the counterpoint. If you do the reverse, you’ll hear the sax and the rhythm section without the flute, and you’ll be able to practice the melody.

On track 13 the note A (440 Hz) is recorded four times, for you to tune your instrument.

On tracks 14 to 27, the same songs from tracks 1 to 12 appear only the rhythm section. So, you’ll be able to practice individually or in a duo, performing the melody or the counterpoint. Note that before each song, you can hear the count of two bars and then three beats (when you have a pick up) or four beats (no pick up).

Tracks 26 e 27, respectively, “Aguenta Seu Fulgêncio” and “O Gato e o Canário” – included as bônus tracks – were recorded with slower tempo, for study purposes.

The songs “André de Sapato Novo” (tracks 2 and 15) and “Atraente” (tracks 3 and 16), ossi bars, indicate the way fermatas, caesuras and rittardandos were executed.

After playing the melodies and the counterpoints of the book, feel welcome to practice your improvisations and create your own melodic lines. For this, the harmony is written in all scores. In bars without chords the previous bar’s chord must be repeated.
Please note that the transpositions (C, Bb or Eb), the numbers of the corresponding CD tracks (the complete arrangements and the play-a-long) and the tempo (a quarter note =) can be seen in the the upper left corner of each sheet.

Just like us, you’ll be amazed to discover Pixinguinha’s and Benedito Lacerda’s musical thinking, enjoy their music, their arrangements and all the possibilities of this book /CD.
