SUITES FRANÇAISES

SUNDAY, AUGUST 9

2 p.m. Central Time

The French dance suite has been one of composers’ favorite genres for centuries. The variety and contrasts inherent to this form – from sensuous sarabands to jaunty gigues – makes them a perfect platform to highlight individual style. From one of the first published female composers, Élizabeth Jacquet de La Guerre, and Johann Sebastian Bach to modernists like Camille Saint-Saëns and György Ligeti, we explore the simple charm of dance music.

PROGRAM

Johann Sebastian Bach: ‘Prelude’ from Cello Suite No. 5 in C Minor
Keiran Campbell, cello

Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de la Guerre: Pièces de clavessin, from Suite in A Minor
Elliot Figg, harpsichord

Jean-Philippe Rameau: Le Rappel des Oiseaux
