“A bourree is an old French dance usually quite fast, characterized by upbeats BUM BUM”. Bravo for even using alliteration in your descriptions! 😘
This is very helpful for someone who will lead this piece as a conductor or a section lead in the strings. All musicians should listen to this lecture series- well done! I look forward to more like this.
Thank you so much.
BRAVO! Jiří Hodina
Wonderful insights. I will certainly refer to them in my teaching and rehearsals. Thank you!
Thank you and good luck!
Very helpful, thanks!
Thank you.
Most illustrative and compelling in discussion and performances following. I echo A. Thouin's comments. Bravo!
Thank you.
Timestamps of the performances for once you've already watched the (very good) discovery bits and want to listen to the performance of each movement:
I. Boisterous Bourrée 8:56
II. Playful Pizzicato 16:42
III. Sentimental Sarabande 25:19
IV. Frolicsome Finale 37:42
You rightly say that the dedicatee was Britten's teacher Audrey Alston. May I assume that her aliterative name, linked with Benjamin Britten's own, inspired the titles of the movements?
Thank you very much! But the Sarabande is a spanish dance, not french! 20:10
Indeed. Please, excuse the mistake.
The town of Lowestoft is, of course, on the East coast of England, not the West coast!
