V. Le Basque
Arranged standard wind quintet
This dance features the horn.
Marin Marais (1656 – 1728) was a French composer and viol player at the royal court of Versailles. His most famous works are his five books of Pièces de Viole, from which these pieces are taken.
The Five Old French Dances were first presented as a single edition in the early twentieth century, arranged for viola and piano by Maud E Aldis and Louis T Rowe.
The pieces in the set are as follows and my arrangement of each piece features a different member of the quintet:
L'Agréable - oboe
La Provençale - flute
La Musette - bassoon
La Matelotte - clarinet
Le Basque - horn
They are all available on this site.
I have also arranged this piece for horn quartet and for horn and piano..
This is a shorter version of the original, and this vesrion was played many times as an encore piece by the late great hornist Dennis Brain who called it “a little French dance, which also happens to be the shortest piece I know.”.
