Three Suites

The first suite is for the solo line; flute or violin would be ideal.The movementsare marked Running, SingingandDancing. On recorder, the first and last movementslie within the range of the alto recorder, and the second movement can be played as is onthe tenor; however, the recorder player may prefer to play it transposed up five semitoneson the alto, which usually has a far sweeter melodic tone. On wind instruments,unmarked breaths will be needed.In some places, if the player prefers, quavers can evenbe omitted; a quaver that repeats a recent note should be chosen.On the piano, this suitecan be played one octave down by the right hand alone, or evenly divided between thehands. Versions are also available one octave down in the alto clef, for viola, and twooctaves down in the bass clef, for cello, or left-handed piano.

The second suite is for piano alone. The movements are markedTurbulent, CalmandLuminous. The first movement almost lies within four octaves and can be played onother keyboards, for example a harpsichord; in the second and third movements thecomposer was tempted by the extra compass and sustain of the piano.

The third suite is for piano and a solo line; again, flute or violin would be ideal.The notes do lie within the compass of the alto recorder, but the execution would bedifficult on that instrument. The movements are markedFluent, BroadandWild.
