Contemporary British composer Brian Kelly has composed a series of place-inspired suites including the Cuban Suite and the New Orleans Suite. The Suite Parisienneâ s four movements suggest the Paris of years gone by Quartier Latin Promenade Memoire Moulin Rouge in music that shows a deep understanding of brass instruments and a lively sophisticated setting of melodies that are almost but not quite French tunes. The solistic opportunities for each instrument are generously shared and the three livelier movements make a brilliant frame for the longing tone of the Memoire movement.
