Marais: Cinq Danses Français Anciennes - wind quintet

Cinq Danses Français Anciennes (Five Old French Dances)

Arranged standard wind quintet

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 separately on SheetMusicPlus.
