By Jean-Philippe Rameau. By Jean-Philippe Rameau. Arranged by Nina Kopparhed. This edition: pdf, streaming. Baroque, Chamber, Historic, Opera, Wedding. 21 pages. Arcantora Publications #1065482. Published by Arcantora Publications (A0.1488635).
"Danse du Grand Calumet de la Paix" (Dance of the Great Peace Pipe), also known as "Danse des Sauvages" is one of the most well known pieces from Jean-Philippe Rameau's "Les Indes Galantes" (1735). It appears in the final "Entree" of the Opera-Ballet and sets the scene for a grove in an American forest on the border of the Frence and Spanish colonies.
This piece is used at the Palace of Versailles every year as part of the dancing items at their grand costume ball, so if you'd like to bring some grandeur from the court of Louis XIV to your event or concert, look no further!
This string quartet arrangement was premiered at a costume ball in Edinburgh in March 2024, and I have now updated the arrangement (apr 2026) to revert back to the original ABACA format (I had extended it previously to make for a longer dance number, especially for the costume ball).
If you will be using this arrangement for dancing, and need to extend it, my suggested repeats would be: Either: AABABACA (and adding an extra A fortissimo to finish if needed!) or A||:ABACA:|| plus extra A fortissimo to finish.
Thank you for looking and I hope that you enjoy this arrangement of Rameau's Danse du grand calumet de la Paix for string quartet.
