Darius Milhaud - Suite Française for Band (1) Normandy Video

Darius Milhaud (1892-1974)

Folk-inspired compositions for band were well established in the works of British composers Holst and Vaughan Williams and Australian-American Percy Grainger at the time this suite came into being. It was the result of a 1944 request to Milhaud from Leeds Music for a school band composition.

The suite is in five movements, each titled for the region from which the music came. Each had significance to Milhaud based on his memories of the struggles his country endured during the war.

1. Normandie - A bright "loure" dance tune in 6/8 time featuring two songs: "Germaine" and "The French Shepherdess and the King of England"

The United States Marine Band conducted by Colonel Timothy W. Foley.
