Tropanka and Patsh Tantz

Tropanka and Patsh Tantz

Lauren Bernofsky

This two-movement work is sure to be a hit at your next concert! The first movement, Tropanka (pronounced �tro-PAHN-kuh�), translates as "stomping dance" and originated in Bulgaria. One can hear two repeated notes at the end of each phrase � this is where the dancers stomp! The second movement, Patsh Tantz (pronounced �PAHTSH tahnts�) is a classic example of Klezmer, or Eastern European Jewish folk music. The title of this movement is Yiddish for �clapping dance�, and all the players get the chance to clap at certain points in their individual parts. Both movements should be played rhythmically; adding weight to many of the downbeats will help bring out the �earthy� character of the music.
