"Klezmer music is a mix of Mittel european Jewish folk tunes with added Yiddish theater music, American jazz and moderate doses of whatever is going around. Having originated in medieval Europe, it was played at parties, most famously weddings, on klezmers, the instruments whose names came to mean the itinerant Jewish musicians who played them. The Holocaust diminished the population that played klezmer, and so did postwar assimilation as immigrants looked toward new lives and turned away from the nightmares they had survived. No matter what style or trend infuses it, klezmer has a host of signature calling cards: prominent clarinet and mandolin tunes, modal scales with conspicuous minor thirds, Yiddish lyrics and a rhythmic progression from mourning and lament to festivity and joyous dance, often in the aisles of modern concert halls."
