Here is a collection of klezmer bulgar tunes played on the oud. Really and truly, most klezmer melodies are mashups of other melodies, but many of these mashed up melodies coalesce and crystallize under the authorship of a composer like Abe Schwartz or clarinet virtuoso Naftule Brandwein. Others have more generic titles like the first tune, Odessa Bulgar. It is followed by Naftule’s Bulgar, and then Abe Schwartz’ Bulgar.
Thanks to Jonno Lightstone for being a prolific chart-writer of klezmer tunes!
