Notes

English text

Extremely popular in Northern Epirus, this dance takes its name from the town of Berat in Albania, where it probably originated. At the beginning the rhythm is majestic and solemn, but as soon as the clarinet launches into magnificent ornamentations and perilous glissandi, it becomes faster without, however, relinquishing the attitude of restraint which generally characterizes Epirote music.

Translated by Derek Yeld

French text

Extrêmement populaire en Epire du nord, cette danse tire son nom de lavilledeBeraten Albanie, d'où elle est probablement originaire. Au début, le rythme est imposant et solennel, mais tandis que la clarinette se lance dans de magnifiques ornementations et de périlleux glissanti, il s' accélère sans pour autant abandonner cette attitude de retenue qui caractérise en général la musique épirote.

Recording information

Studio recording, 1984.
