Freylekh: A “joyful” rediscovery of De Cormier’s Yiddish folksongs
Featuring Kimberly Lazzeri (soprano), William Herzog (violin), and Christina
Seal (piano)
_Professors from Northern Kentucky University School of the Arts_
This lecture recital features songs for voice, violin, and piano from the
newly released album, _Freylekh: A “joyful” rediscovery of De Cormier’s
Yiddish folksongs._ These songs are selections from the recently published
_The Yiddish Folksong Project Anthology: The arrangements of Robert De
Cormier,_ bringing to light Robert De Cormier’s folksong arrangements, which
had previously been kept in a storage closet for over 40 years. Not only is
this anthology the first-ever publication of De Cormier’s arrangements of
Yiddish folksongs, but it is also the first-ever large body of Yiddish
folksong repertoire that is arranged in the classical style for performance on
the concert or recital stage.
