Published by Michael Barrera (A0.998575).Https://www.michaelbarreraflute.com/shop/p/first-suite-eb-flute Program Notes First Suite in E-flat by Gustav Holst is widely considered one of the masterworks of band literature and it is one of the earliest pieces written for wind ensemble. Completed in 1909, the suite did not premiere until 11 years later in 1920. Each of the three movements Chaconne, Intermezzo, and March is based on the same motif, seen at the beginning of each movement. The Chaconne begins with a ground bass stating the theme and follows with a set of 15 variations over it. The Intermezzo is brisk, making use of the agility of the winds. Last, the March is more lighthearted but then becomes more regal like a typical British march. Instrumentation 1 Piccolo 4 Flutes 1 Alto Flute 1 Bass Flute Parts may be doubled with more players as desired.
