Suite. Composed by Richard Strauss. Arranged by Christiaan Janssen. Baton Music Orchestral Series. Full Score and set of parts. Baton Music #BM1214-SET. Published by Baton Music (BF.BM1214-SET).Der Bürger als Edelmann' is the German title of a play by Molière and an orchestral suite by Richard Strauss. The original French play is called 'Le bourgeois gentilhomme' and is about a wealthy merchant who would like to become a nobleman. The play was first performed in 1670 with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully. Strauss composed his orchestral suite in 1919 based on the music he had written between 1911 and 1917 for an adaptation of the piece by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. The suite consists of nine movements in which Strauss used some of Lully's themes, but gave them his own romantic twist. Dutch arranger Christiaan Janssen transcribed 'Der Bürger als Edelmann' for Symphonic Band.
