Composed by Francois Couperin. Arranged by Barbara A. Eberhart. Baroque. 12 pages. Barbara A Eberhart #2988873. Published by Barbara A Eberhart (A0.886263).

The Mysterious Barricades by François  Couperin was written in 1717 for harpsichord. This arrangement is in 5 parts for Flute 1, Flute 2, Alto, Bass and Contrabass Flutes. The piece is in the Style Brisé of the French Baroque.  The music is syncopated and the melodic  line ambiguous. With arranging this work for flute ensemble the character of the  piece is changed through the flutes’ ability to sustain notes. It enables a darker more  blended tone enhancing the sense of mystery of this unusual piece. The typical Baroque  embellishments were purposefully omitted; however performers should feel free to add stylistic embellishments.
