du Terte & Gervaise – Suite französischer Tänze

Description

For comparison, Hindemith begins the „Suite französischer Tänze“ with the original movements by Pierre d’Attaignant. This is meant to be a demonstration and motivation for the player of today to add on his own little improvisa-tions or ornaments according to his playing skill as it is done with village dance music but even with jazz. The instruments can be freely chosen; this arrangement (piccolo and flute, oboe, English horn, bassoon, trumpet and lute) tries to imitate a group consisting of recorders, shawm, crumhorn, dulcian etc.
