Suite francaise. Composed by Byron Adams. Contemporary. Score and parts. Composed 2006. Duration 18'30. Editions BIM #MCX58. Published by Editions BIM (ET.MCX58).
ISBN 9790207000057.
Subtitled “Suite Française, Le Jardin Provençal consists of four movements, none of which describe a particular garden in Provence. The first movement is a brisk Ouverture in sonata form followed by a Romance sans paroles – a “song without words. The third movement is a farandole, a Provençal dance used most famously by Georges Bizet (1838-1875), which is characterized by a skipping step and a regular pulse. Thus the Farandole avec musette is based on a Provençal folksong with a contrasting musette that is my own invention. Borrowing a title from a poem by Paul Verlaine (1844-1896), the final movement is entitled Fêtes galantes; this music evokes the moonlit landscapes that were perfected in the elegant canvases of Jean Antoine Watteau (1684-1721).
Byron Adams, November 2011, Santa Monica, CA, USA
P.S. The harpsichordist may arpeggiate chords in a tasteful manner throughout this score, ad libitum. The ideal instrument for Le jardin provençal is a French double manual harpsichord of the kind preferred by François Couperin dit “le Grand (1668-1733). The piano can be a possible alternative too.
Première: Brentwood, California, USA, 25 March, 2006
by the ensemble Pacific Serenades: Mark Carlson, flute; Allan Vogel, oboe; David Speltz, violoncello; Patricia Mabee, harpsichord.
