This Baroque piece was originally written by Jean Loeillet as part of a Harpsichord Suite. Ā It is written in the Italian Corant style in the characteristic Fast(Allegro) 3/4 with rapid running passages of eighth notes (quavers) which alternate scalar steps with large leaps. Ā Traditionally the piece would have been performed very cleanly, not legato.
My arrangement takes the melody and passes it between the three instrument parts. Ā I wrote a highly ornamented continuo for each part when not playing melody. Ā In true Baroque style I have created a tight interplay between the parts. Ā Each part also has a rather wide range of about 2 octaves. Ā
Although in a Minor Key, this piece is very bright and uplifting. Ā It is very accessible and thus a concert crowd pleaser. Ā Great for the student recitals too to learn and show mastery of Baroque techniques of clean ensemble playing and ornamentation. Ā Most of all, this piece is just Pure Fun!
