This 4-movement
suite is based on
authentic folktunes from
the beautiful southern
province in France: the
Provence. The composer
used an harmonic language
respecting the popular
characteristics, but on
the other hand also
contains some spicy notes
(... just like the
wellknown Provençal
sauce! ...). The
instrumentation is very
colourful, paying a lot
of attention to the
different timbres of both
brass and wood winds as
well as to the percussion
section.Every movement
has its own character: Un
Ange a fa la crido (= An
angel brought the creed /
credo) is like a
bourrée, Adam e sa
Coumpagnou (= Adam and
his companion) is an old
love song, Lou Fustié
(= the carpenter)a fast
dance and finally Lis
Escoubo (= a whistle tune
/ popular ballad) is a
farandole. In the latter,
the old tradition of folk
musicians who play a
whistle with one hand and
a drum with the other
hand, is clearly
represented during the
first presentations of
the one and only
theme)Although this piece
is not too demanding, a
well balanced band is
necessary to perform it
successfully. Thanks to
the contrasts and the
varying colours, it keeps
on holding the attention.
Dieses
vierteilige Werk basiert
auf alten Volksliedern
aus der Provençe. Der
Komponist verwendet diese
Melodien in einer farbig
instrumentierten Suite
und braucht hierbei eine
Klangsprache, die
einerseits den
volkstümlichen
Charakter
nichtverleugnet, aber
andererseits doch ab und
zu eine pikante Note
enthält.Die Teile
sind: Un ange a fa la
crido, Adam e sa
coumpagno, Lou
Fusti en Lis
Escoubo.
