Added by magataganm, 26 Sep 2013 Jean Hotteterre (died 1720) was a composer and musician of the Hotteterre family in the court of Louis XIV of France. He and his brothers Jacques-Martin and Nicolas made many enhancements to the hautbois, creating an “indoor” version similar to the shawm. Jean and Michel Philidore created the oboe. A minuet, also spelled menuett, is a social dance of French origin for two people, usually in 3/4 time. The word was adapted from Italian minuetto and French menuet, and may have been from French menu meaning slender, small, referring to the very small steps, or from the early 17th-century popular group dances called branle à mener or amener. "La noce champêtre" (Country Wedding/ Pastoral Hymn) is a French Sonata and Trio (No. 6) ca. 1700 in 31 movements. This Menuett is movement XIV in the suite. Although originally written for chamber orchestra, I created this arrangement for Woodwind Trio (Flute or Piccolo, Bb Clarinet & Bass Clarinet).
