Leo's Cry from Ajar by CHUTNEY
Paul wrote this tune after the birth of his son, Leo, inspired by Leo’s tendency to start crying just as Paul and his wife Judy were falling back to sleep. The piece charts the inevitable crescendo of that cry from something sweetly containable to a veritable nightmare. ‘Leo’s Cry’ quotes phantasmagorical fragments of klezmer tunes ‘Hava Nagila’ and ‘Chosen Kala Mazel Tov’, and is also testament to Paul’s brief but devoted obsession with Cirque du Soleil.
