£66.95French Masters Suite - Philip Gordon
The rhythm of the dance animates this Suite arranged by Philip Gordon, reflecting the carefree, light-hearted spirit of the French court during the reign of Louis XIV and Louis XV. All three composers here represented--Couperin (1668-1733), La Coste (ca. 1700-1750) and Rameau (1683-1764)--were contemporaries of Bach and Handel. The Rigaudon is a lively dance, characterized by a jumping step that made it quite popular. It was danced in the American Colonies as well as in Europe. The Sarbande is a rather slow dance of Spanish origin; it is calm and staid, putting emphasis on the melody. The Gavotte is a very animated dance, with strongly marked accents; it, too, was very poular and frequently used on gala occasions.

£82.95Couchiching Suite - John Herberman
was written as a commission from the National Music Camp of Canada, which runs each year on the shores of beautiful Lake Couchiching, north of Toronto, Canada. The goal in composing this piece was to give the top students at the camp a challenging and original piece to play. The first movement is a march in 5/4 that derives its pulse from the melodic shapes, rather than set groupings of beats. The middle movement is a slow homophonic song with rich harmonies and thick chordal textures requiring good listening and tuning skills. The third movement is a burner in mixed meters featuring solo alto saxophone and a soaring soli for the French horns. This is a great concert suite to showcase the achievements and abilities of a senior ensemble.
