"The Music of NIGUN is professional, ., it isn't ethno- or world music, one can't range it neither to klezmer jazz, which has formed in the near past. NIGUN kneads the original tunes and is so with a strong factor of our improvised music life." - Péter Szigeti, Gramofon Magazine

In the 19th Century Jewish musicians played two or three dance pieces often in a set order, without interruption at weddings and other fests. They called these ’medleys’ standard among themselves. The first part of the standard is the Doina, a rubato, semi-improvised ballad, wich was originally a Transylvanian sheperd tune and wich – at the same time – is the intro of the Hora that follows. The Hora is a medium ¾ time dance, were normally a break substitutes the mid quarter. The last piece of the set is a fast and ecstatic 4/4 time dance, the Bulgar (Freylach). These three kinds of dance pieces with different tempo constitute the basis of the instrumental Klezmer music. Nigun’s standard revievs this music tradition. The traditional variations of the pieces we play come from different regions so originally these there tunes could not be in the same repertoire.
