Description
This is one of four Yiddish folksongs arranged for alto saxophone and classical guitar
A bundle of all 4 together is also available (as "4 Yiddish folksongs for alto saxophone and guitar")
The songs are:
Amol iz geven a Mayse (There was once a tale)
Oyfn Yam (On the sea)
Ale Vasserlech (All the waters flow away)
Ikh bin e meidel in de Joren (I am a girl come of age)
The sound sample here comes from the original performance of the song for alto voice and guitar at the concert in Manchester in 2009.
