Romanian folklore ... I remembered some old scores in my library .. They belonged to my great grandfathers ... Scores were printed around 1900 ... I was curious what of those notes. Scores were only piano so I had some work ... and here the result .. means a lot to me because I somehow give life to those notes. Seems a collage of traditional Romanian songs, I think is called Pastoral Romanian .. Anyway, I hope to have the patience to listen and to passing over my inexpert orchestration. The real Romanian folklore is not playing it.. "right" ... but I have done what I could, using my old Roland Xp-50 workstation.
other songs from these scores are here..

I really enjoy what you did in the pastorala romana.
And do you know what I almost love in Romanian Folklore ? the employement of the bass clarinet.
(I had a roland D50... my best keyboards.)

In Romanian folk music, music played by a "taraf"-(a small traditional band), is not used very often bass clarinet, but in symphony orchestras do. Here exists traditional instruments (like "caval") there sounds like bass clarinet, and they are imitated by the bass clarinet in the transcripts for large orchestras.
is a really deep sound...
Thank you Valserine... for patience..
valserine replies:
I knew this name of taraf, because I really appreciate Taraf Of Haïdouks.
