You mention the Klezmer scale in your description, and I have come across many versions of Klezmatic modes named all sorts of different things, could you give me a tone/semitone pattern for what scale you're referring to?
There are many different Klezmer scales, as music developed in many regions of the world. The scale used in this work is Ahava Raba (great love): Also called 'Freygish', altered Phrygian (Beregowski) or 'Hijaz' (as Arab mode). Idelsohn suggests that this mode is Tartaric (13th century). It sounds similar to the phrygian mode, but contains a major third degree.

Is it the same as the double harmonic scale?
