Description:
Gustav Holst's "Suite de Ballet" (Op. 10) is an orchestral work he composed in 1899. It is one of his lesser-known works, but it shows an interesting use of orchestration and rhythmic variations. The suite is inspired by dance music, although it was not specifically intended to accompany a ballet. The 'Suite de Ballet' is rich in orchestral textures and offers a variety of rhythms and styles, from playful and light to more serious and dramatic. It's part of Holst's search for a style of his own, in which he combined elements of traditional English music with more modern influences.
The "Suite de Ballet" consists of four movements: 1. "Danse Rustique", 2. "Valse", 3. "Scene de Nuit", 4. "Carneval". Although it is not one of Holst's best-known works, such as "The Planets", it shows the composer's versatility and his skill in creating compelling orchestral music.
Dutch arranger Christiaan Janssen transcribed this suite for Symphonic Band.
