Contemporary
British composer Brian
Kelly has composed a
series of place-inspired
suites, including the
Cuban Suite and the New
Orleans Suite. The Suite
Parisienne's four
movements suggest the
Paris of years gone by -
Quartier Latin,
Promenade, Memoire,
Moulin Rouge - in music
that shows a deep
understanding of brass
instruments and a lively,
sophisticated setting of
melodies that are almost,
but not quite, French
tunes. The solistic
opportunities for each
instrument are generously
shared and the three
livelier movements make a
brilliant frame for the
longing tone of the
Memoire movement.
