Product Description

A wind decet arrangement of the Rigaudon from Maurice Ravel's sparkling suite "Le Tombeau de Couperin" by Philip Le Bas.

A rustic French dance, the Rigaudon is lively, exuberant and fast (marked "Assez vif".) The second flute has his or her work cut out in a couple of sections, as in Ravel's original orchestration, but otherwise it is all quite playable and mostly "sits under the fingers" for the decet players. The middle section suddenly slows down and the oboe takes the lead in a sensuous dance accompanied by a gentle rhythmical feature, until the first theme breaks through once again. The ending is subtely different from the first section, however, leading to the different key of F major, only to be replaced - satisifyingly - in the final two bars by the original key of C major.
