Based on an original tune from the music of Jewish Yemenite women, the musical treatment of Yemenite Fantasy emphasizes both the expressive melodic line and the rhythmic patterns of original Yemenite music. The source material was a lone melody with some percussion accompaniment. Transforming it to a western trio ensemble required the addition of harmonic and contrapuntal ideas. Some sense of freedom and improvisation which are a part of the eastern world is also kept in this colorful piece. Notes by Moshe Zorman
