Woodwind Ensemble - Digital Download SKU: A0.1189586 Composed by Reynaldo Hahn. Arranged by Paul Kajzar. Romantic Period. 29 pages. Paul Kajzar, Gyllcott Music #789219. Published by Paul Kajzar, Gyllcott Music (A0.1189586). An arrangement for wind dectet (2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons and 2 horns) of the courante from Reynaldo Hahn’s suite Le Bal de Beatrice d’Este. Composed around 1905, the 7 movement suite evokes the atmosphere of the late 15th century court in Milan, with many of the movements taking the names of dance forms of that era. The piece was originally scored for an ensemble of wind, horns, trumpet, piano, harps and percussion. The courante is wonderfully civilised music and has great charm, and would serve well as a calm interlude in the context of a longer recital. The set comprises full score and parts. Difficulty level : Intermediate/Advanced.
