Bresnick Bitter Suite - Duo for Violin and Piano

This work for violin and piano by Martin Bresnick is a play on the words "suite" and "bittersweet." Each of the four movements is based on a Yiddish folk song, which in English translate toĀ On the Road, My Resting Place, Black Cat,Ā andĀ Dona, Dona. Each of the four pieces is primarily based on a Jewish folk song, but re-envisions them in a modern context, akin to Bartok and Kodaly. The composer noted, ā€œI found it a very challenging, yet touching way to remain in contact with some part of my own past that I don’t usually reveal.ā€ The title references the difficult (bitter) and pleasant (sweet) aspects of experiencing the tumultuous history of a people through their folk music.
