Performance Notes
1. ¡Ah, el novio no quere dinero! is in Ladino, a Romance language that originated from
medieval Castilian Spanish and Hebrew. Written in modified Hebrew letters, Ladino has a
relationship to Castilian Spanish that is similar to the relationship between Yiddish and
German. It is also known as the Spanish dialect of the Sephardic Jews living in Mediterranean
countries.
online perusal only
2. All percussion parts are repetitious and can be easily performed and memorized by choir
members.
3. Clapping should be to the left side of the body with hands completely perpendicular, the
right hand clapping into the left hand (see illustration).

4. Suggested instruments for percussion:
High drum - Tambourim (a small hand drum similar to a tambourine but without jingles)
- is held in the left hand so that the middle finger may be used to press into the middle of
the head to alter the pitch and resonance in an improvised pattern. The drum is played
using a thin (timbale) stick in the right hand. If the written pattern is too difficult it may
be simplified as indicated.
Middle drum - Doumbek - held under the left arm and supported by the left hand with
the fingers extended onto the head. Notes marked “o” played with a thumb “slap” producing
an open tone. Notes marked “+” played with fingers of either hand producing a muffled
sound.
Low drum - Surdo (or large tom-tom) - played with a padded stick (similar to a timpani) in
the right hand and using the left hand to muffle the head. Notes marked “o” should be
an open (unmuffled) sound. Notes marked “+” should be played with the left hand being
used to muffle the head.

Translation
Oh, the bridegroom wants no money,
he wants only his bride of good fortune.
I have come to wish them joy and prosperity
And all manner of good things.
online perusal only
Oh, the bridegroom wants no ducats,
he wants only a bride of good luck.
I have come to wish them joy and prosperity
And all manner of good things.
Oh, the bridegroom wants no bracelets,
he wants only a bride with a happy face.
I have come to wish them joy and prosperity
and all manner of good things.
Oh, now the bridegroom wants money,
And also his bride of good fortune.
I have come to wish them joy and prosperity
And all manner of good things.

Performance Notes
DANCES TO LIFE reflects the seasons of life. As the text and music take on the character of life’s varied experiences, the
character of the performance should be similarly varied. While the percussion parts are optional, they will add color
and texture to the pieces. The piano four-hand accompaniment should be played with orchestral color and ample pedal
as indicated in the score. Percussion parts are included in the back and may be enlarged on a photocopier to facilitate
performance.
