Program Notes

Eine Kleine Yiddishe Ragmusic is a synthesis of Scott Joplin ragtime and Jewish folk song. The effect is haunting and evocative of 1930's Berlin.

- Program Note from score


Gorb composed a series of short works which feature varying musical elements in creatively accessible ways. This notion was first presented in his 2003 composition, Eine Kleine Yiddishe Ragmusik. This work demonstrates a brilliant synthesis of ragtime (particularly that of Scott Joplin) with Jewish folk music (Klezmer), reminiscent of 1930s Berlin. He followed this piece with others in a similar vein: A Little Tango Music (2007), A Little Salsa Music (2008), and Eine Kleine Walzermusik (2009).
