Charles Bordes , best known as founder of the Schola Cantorum in Paris, was a fairly prolific composer, but this suite is his only example of chamber music. He was always attracted by the legends and music of the Basques. Basque rhythms and folk tunes abound in this work-the second and final movements both being national folk dances in the characteristic five-four rhythm, and two folk-song themes recurring in the first movement. One of these folk songs, ' The Caged Bird ', first inspired him to visit that secluded corner of Europe where the Basques live.
