The song is sung in Yiddish and was written by Papernikov in the early 1920s. I was introduced to this in the Yiddish Song Collection and thought it would make a cool setting for our jazz ensemble. It is not typical to have Yiddish put with jazz but I hope you like it. The arrangement is of medium difficulty and playing it swing in 6/8 time is a cool stretch. Our singer loved doing this with the band and the soloists staying in the harmonic minor scale worked out well. I feel it is very doable for a high school or higher group.
