Our Description
The atmospheric Pastorale is followed by a Waltz, the main melody of which is based on 'N’aï pas iéu de mïo' from The Songs of the Auvergne. The finale, Scène et Marche is the most substantial movement and provides ample opportunities for each instrument to shine. The unmistakable Gallic slant to the melodic material and the general feeling of “joie de vivre” which characterises Suite Française no doubt betrays its origins in music researched and composed by Guy Woolfenden for two very different, but very “French” productions of Love’s Labour’s Lost for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
