SKU: A0.1660739
By Philip Le Bas. Composed by Maurice Ravel. Arranged by Philip Le Bas. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Chamber. 38 pages. Philip Le Bas #1226887. Published by Philip Le Bas (A0.1660739).
A wind decet arrangement of the Menuet from Maurice Ravel's sparkling suite Le Tombeau de Couperin by Philip Le Bas. The original tempo of this gorgeous minuet, taken from Ravel's suite of pieces for piano (and subsequently arranged for orchestra), is marked "Allegro moderato". However, no one performs it as an "Allegro", neither pianists nor orchestras, as it is the most laid-back of melodies, reminiscent of lazy summer afternoons on a lake. The arranger has therefore marked the arrangement "Allegretto moderato", aiming to retain its lightness and motion without sounding rushed. In this wind decet version he has otherwise followed Ravel's markings and instrumentation wherever possible.
The oboe takes the lead throughout most of the piece, except in the middle section, which is much more mysterious and where there are repeated waves of instrumental colours. After the recapitulation the piece concludes in a lovely downward sweep from the piccolo to the bassoons, followed by an almost jazzy double trill on the clarinets.
For the companion arrangement Rigaudon from the same suite see elsewhere on this site.
