Another tune related to jewish music, so lets talk a bit about Klezmer:

Hebraic ‘kli’ means ‘tool, vessel’ and ‘zemer’ is ‘song, melody’, so Klezmer means ‘Vessel of Melody’. Characteristically the melody lines of this music try to imitate the voice of the leader of prayer in the synagogue.

Even in this very modern three-four Klezmer watch out for ‘krekhts’ (‘groans’ or ‘moans’) and ‘dreydlekhs’ (‘tears in the voice’, meaning sighs, a sort of trills)!
