Chabrier: Suite Pastorale II.Danse Villageoise - wind dectet/bass

Emmanuel Chabrier composed a set of ten pieces for piano called Pièces pittoresques (Picturesque pieces) 
. Four of the set were later orchestrated by the composer to make his Suite Pastorale. 

This is my arrangement of mvt 2 Danse Villageoise (Village Dance) 

It is arranged for double wind quintet/bass. 

Flute 2 plays piccolo and flute. 

The Clarinet parts are for Clarinet in A. 

Danse villageoise (Village dance) 
It is in A minor, 2/4; Allegro risoluto (dedicated to Yvonne de Montesquieu) 

Danse villageoise, in a more traditional ternary form, provides a slightly heavy-footed contrast and illustrates the rustic spirit of Chabrier yet with precise polyphony (with some elements of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 25). The decisive scherzo is in A minor while the hesitating trio is in A major.
