Description
For flute, harpsichord, and strings or flute and piano.
The instrumentation is the same as Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No.5, the Suite is made up of six movements ranging from `a Bach-like Aria’ to a ‘Richard Rodgers-style Waltz’.
Rutter’s own style comes forth most strongly in the final Rondeau with its characteristically forward-driving rhythms and beautiful melodic lines, evoking an ‘antique’ spirit, each movement is based on a Baroque or Classical style.
