Mary Lea, Peter Barnes and Paul Oorts deliver a passionate, no-holds-barred, rose-between-the-teeth, wine-glasses-into-the-fireplace rendition of Jalousie, a 1925 'tango tzigane' (gypsy tango) by Danish composer Jacob Gade. For a 1925 orchestral performance of the piece see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk1-W6JguzE.
This performance was recorded in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, as part of the Upper Potomac Spring Music Weekend, March 28-30, 2008. Other concerts, contra dances, and music weekends are held throughout the year and are sponsored by the Upper Potomac Dulcimer Fest (http://www.home.earthlink.net/~updf/UPDF ) and Shepherdstown Music and Dance (http://smad.us/).
