In the early 1960s, the well-known Yiddish folklorists Chana and Yosl Mlotek created a medley of French songs, with lyrics in Yiddish and French, for the "Felker-Yontef" (Holiday of Nations) at Camp Boiberik, in Rhinebeck, NY. More than 50 years later, in January 2015, their work inspired Binyumen Schaechter, conductor of the Jewish People's Philharmonic Chorus / JPPC, to create a heavily revised and extended version, with entirely new lyrics (now in three languages), and arranged for the Chorus, to be premiered as the opening number of the JPPC's annual spring concert, May 31, 2015 at Symphony Space. The concert was playfully titled "From Paris to Peretz", celebrating both the works of the great Yiddish writer I. L. Peretz (who died exactly 100 years earlier, in 1915), as well as many places around the world where Jews have lived over the past 2,500 years - including Paris. (Thus the reference to "Paris to Peretz" in the lyric.) Since the premiere in May 2015, the Chorus has performed this work two more times: at the North American Jewish Choral Festival in July 2015, and at Merkin Hall in New York City in November 2015. This YouTube recording is from the last of these three performances. The source melodies in order: 1. "La Seine" / "The River Seine" (Guy LaFarge) 2. "Au Clair de la Lune" 3. "Sur le Pont d'Avignon" 4. "En Passant par la Lorraine" 5. "Auprès de Ma Blonde" 6. "Frère Jacques" / "Are You Sleeping" 7. "La Marseillaise" 8. "Can-Can" (Jacques Offenbach)
