Background: K'Li zemer was commissioned by the celebrated clarinetist and neo-klezmer exponent Giora Feidan but premiered in 1988 by Peter Alexander, with the Hudson Valley Philharmonic, conducted by Leon Botstein. K'li zemer is in four movements, with no pause between the last two.

The term k'li zemer is translated literally from the Hebrew as 'instrument of song' But the contraction of the two words centuries ago became the Yiddish klezmer, meaning simply 'instrumental musician', although it came to connote wedding band and Street band players rather than classical concert performers. The clarinet was one of the chief virtuoso solo instruments in many klezmer bands in 19th- and 20th-century eastern Europe, though it was probably preceded in its dominant role by the violin and, in early bands, even the flute.
