Par HESS NIGEL. Chansons de Normandie was commissioned by the Central Band of the Royal Air Force and premiered on
BBC Radio 2 as part of their D-Day broadcast from the Royal Albert Hall on June 6th, 2014. This 4 minute
piece is based on three traditional Normandy folk songs: Les Metamorphoses, Le marchand de velours and
Le corselet. An ideal concert opener, the work is in a lively dance tempo with suggestions of Renaissance
dance music./ Répertoire / Orchestre à Vent
