Valse de musette – Intermezzo I – Écossaise – Intermezzo II – An Hungarian in Paris

In the miniature tone poem An Hungarian in Paris, peasant takes his tune to the French capital, where it gets arranged into a can-can.  This becomes all the rage for a bit, but soon enough he is back in his village, recalling his grand succès in the City of Lights!

Recorded in Lisbon, January 2016

It was two weeks before two friends were being married in 1980.  I was to play the ceremony.  The bride calls to suggest I write a piece to be performed at the wedding!  I go to bed in something of a panic, but wake up the next morning hearing this trumpet tune.  The other two numbers were added the following summer.

Debka for trumpet and piano, from Suite levantine, op. 15.

Debka

My Suite levantine (trumpet/piano) comprises four dances:  two Arabic and two Israeli.  When I recently put up the Debka (men's line dance from Syria),  I said it was only temporarily, so as to celebrate Eid.  This because I only had a synthetic recording I made at the request of prospective performers.  Then the U.S. Supreme Court pusillanimously decided to temporarily instate measures from Trump's travel ban (knocked down theretofore by district courts across the land...) until they reviewed it formally this fall.  I decided to swallow my pride and leave that number up after all, and now proffer this companion Arabic solo woman's dance to boot.
