Program Notes
YERUSHA, for clarinet and seven players, was written in London in 1986, on a Consortium Commission grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for clarinetists Michelle Zukovsky, Richard Stoltzman, and Larry Combs. Ms. Zukovsky gave the premiere in December 1987 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group, conducted by John Harbison. The character of the work grew out of my interest in klezmer music, the music of itinerant bands of Jewish performers who roamed Eastern Europe playing for weddings, bar mitzvahs, and the like. The style migrated, along with its players, to America, where it was intermingled with jazz elements. The swoops, glides, and smears of the clarinet are among the most prominent features of the style, so it seemed natural for a solo role in a klezmer piece. As the work progressed, it became apparent that the liturgical side of Jewish music needed to be represented, to balance off the raucous, secular klezmer moods. There are actual quotations and transformations of both secular and liturgical music...YERUSHA is Yiddish or Hebrew (depending on pronunciation) for "legacy" or heritage." YERUSHA is dedicated to the memory of my grandmother, Eva Dizenfeld who passed away, at age 93 during its composition. -David Stock
