Arrangeur: Jeffrey Beyer. Par TELEMANN GEORG PHILIPP. Georg Philipp Telemann's (1681-1767) Gulliver Suite, was composed only two years after the first publication of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels in 1726. In the suite, Telemann embraces Swift's satire by emulating the characters in a variety of musical ways. The five movements are: Intrada, Lilliputian Chaconne, Brobdingnagian Gigue, Reverie of the Laputans and their attendant flappers, and the Loure of the well-mannered Houyhnhnms/Wild Dance of the untamed Yahoos. This edition includes parts transposed for G flutes, such that any combination of flutes can be used. The Lilliputians can be piccolos, and the Brobdingnagians a pair of contra flutes. Or perhaps theopposite! Feel free to experiment, mix and match all you like!
