Composed by Gabriel Faure. Arranged by Ray Thompson. 20th Century,Romantic Period. 100 pages. RayThompsonMusic #4804305. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.553822).Masques et bergamasques, Op. 112, is an orchestral suite by Gabriel Fauré. It was arranged by the composer from incidental music he provided for a theatrical entertainment commissioned for Albert I, Prince of Monaco in 1919. The original score contained eight numbers, including two songs for tenor, and a choral passage. These numbers were not included in the published suite, which has four movements.
The eight movements of the divertissement were almost all drawn from earlier works of Fauré:
- Ouverture (from an abandoned 1869 symphony)
- Pastorale (the only wholly new movement)
- Madrigal (Op. 35, 1884; for chorus and orchestra)
- Le Plus doux chemin (Op. 87, No. 1; for tenor and orchestra)
- Menuet (extensively reworked from the 1869 symphony)
- Clair de lune (Op. 46, No. 2; for tenor and orchestra)
- Gavotte (from the 1869 symphony)
- Pavane (Op. 50, 1887)
The suite drawn from the work has remained one of Fauré's most popular works. It was published by Durand et cie in 1919. It is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, harp and strings.
The suite, which has a typical playing time of about 14 minutes, consists of four of the purely orchestral movements:
Overture
Minuet
Gavotte
Pastorale
It is arranged here for double wind quintet and bass.(string bass/tuba parts provided)
