£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.

£59.38Suite - A Renaissance Christmas (Wind Band) Kevin Norbury
VIEW SCORE PDF This magnificent festive suite was written by Kevin Norbury for the Pierre Elliott Trudeau High School Wind Symphony and features three well known carols set in a Renaissance style. Three contrasting movements comprise the work: i. Processional (Personent hodie - On this day earth shall ring) This is a short piece imagining a torchlight Yuletide procession (perhaps bearing the traditional roasted wild boar), using a well-known Christmas melody from the large collection of music compiled in the 16th century called Piae Cantiones (1582). The tune is presented twice with accompanying, related melodic material. ii. Pastorale (Quem pastores laudavere - Shepherds sang their praises o'er him) This is a 14th-century melody which was originally collected by Michael Praetorius at the end of the 16th-century. The treatment throughout is very lyrical without overly complex harmonies. The melody is heard three times with brief linking episodes and a short coda. iii. Celebration! (In dulci jubilo - In sweet celebration - Ding-dong merrily on high) This magnificent 13th-century melody was also a part of Michael Praetorius's collection. It is traditionally associated with the words 'Good Christian men, rejoice!' The opening is a straight transcription of the great chorale prelude for organ by J.S. Bach. After the grandeur of the opening, the tune is heard in more of a 'folky' style. A lot of related melodic material is then presented before the tune Ding-dong merrily on high is heard. After another episode of previously used music In dulci jubilo reappears in a joyful conclusion to the piece.
