Music by the STATION QUARTET
FOR Daudet's play of Provencal life 'L'Arlésienne,' Bizet contributed a large amount of very attractive music. This was later put together for concert purposes in the form of two Suites, of which this is the first.
It has four Movements :-
(1) Prelude. A stirring rhythmic, March-like piece, based on an old Provencal folk-tune ; (2)
Minuet. A pleasant dance tune ; (3) Adagietto. A very short piece for Strings alone. In the play it accompanies the passage where two old lovers meet, after half a century of absence from one another ; (4) Carillon. A simple little three-note bell tune pervades the piece. There is a short, contrasting middle section ; otherwise the three-note tune is heard throughout. The piece is played during the celebration of a betrothal.
