Suite No. 1 for Woodwind Quartet. Composed by Georges Bizet. Edited by Joachim Linckelmann. Stapled. Score, Set of parts. No. 1. 16/7/7/8/8/7 pages. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA08604. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA08604).ISBN 9790006533930. 30 x 23 cm inches.
George Bizet’s “ L’Arlesienne ” Suite No. 1, taken from his theatre music to a stage work by Alphonse Daudet, was arranged by the composer for larger orchestra only weeks after the premiere in autumn 1872.
The suite has been a success from its very first performance. Evoking the folk-like sounds of southern France , combined with masterly orchestration, Bizet captured the “feel” of France in his four movement suite.
Joachim Linckelmann’s arrangement for woodwind quintet captures this powerful music in a chamber ensemble, leaving the listener to wonder if Bizet had not made the arrangement himself!
