Fiddler on the Roof (Karaoke/Accompaniment)

A fiddler on the roof. Sounds crazy no? These eight words open the first scene, of one of the greatest works of the American musical theatre. A show that has captivated the world, since it first opened on Broadway, on September 22, 1964. The show, which takes place in Eastern Russia, in 1905, has always been played by an orchestra of various sizes. But if you lived in the village of Anatevka, you would have been listening to a small group of musicians, known as Klezmorim. The Klezmorim were small groups (bands) of musicians who played what we call today, traditional Yiddish (Jewish) music. They would travel throughout Eastern Europe, playing in different towns and cities, for various occasions. As an end result, Producer Stephen M. Pearl of Stage Stars Records, Inc. has re-orchestrated and recorded, a new version of Fiddler On The Roof with a Klezmer band. This new album features a full cast of actors and actresses singing the songs, with an accompaniment of standard Klezmer instrumentation, such as Clarinets, Flute, Trumpet, Tuba, Accordion, Guitar, Bass, Drums, and of course, Violin. We hope you enjoy it. This Album includes two versions of every song, one with guide vocals and one with instrumental only- totally 32 tracks. Tracks 1-16 contain guide vocals; tracks 17-32 contains accompaniment only. This allows the performer to learn a song by singing along with the vocals and music, then to practice their technique accompanied by the background tracks. Use them for performances, education or just for fun. All Stage Stars Albums are are re-recorded by professional actors and actress. As per the request of the publisher, we are not able to print the lyrics in our booklet nor does this album come with on screen graphics.
