This Baroque piece was originally written by Jean Loeillet as part of a Harpsichord Suite. 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. Traditionally the piece would have been performed very cleanly, not legato.
My arrangement takes the melody and passes it between the three parts. I wrote a highly ornamented continuo for each part when not playing the melody. In true Baroque style I have created a tight interplay between parts. Each part also has a rather wide range. (6 pages score, 2 pages @ part)
Although in a Minor Key, this piece is very bright and uplifting. It is very accessible and thus a concert crowd pleaser. Great for the student recitals too to learn and show mastery of Baroque techniques of clean ensemble playing and ornamentation. Most of all, this piece is just Pure Fun!
