Chord changes in latter sections resemble those of "Carmina Burana," perhaps? Thanks!

Wonderful renditio of this Reb Yitskhok Eizik (Kalover rebe ) nign. I have to correctly say only the "A" section is from the Kalover Rebe. The "B" and "C" sections were written by composer/ethnographer Yale Strom in 1991. This tune came to Eve Sicular's attention through Ismail Butera a fantastic accordion player who plays in Metropolitan Klezmer Band lead by Eve Sicular. mr. Butera has played with Yale Strom & Hot Pstromi since 1987.
