Rondeau

Composed by Jean-Joseph Mouret (1682 – 1738), arranged by Ann Cameron Pearce  (key of D Major)

Rondeau from “Symphonies and Fanfares for the King's Supper”

Mouret, a French Baroque composer known in his day for his dramatic works, is remembered now thanks to this Fanfare – Rondeau, which has been adapted as the theme music for PBS’s Masterpiece Theatre and is also quite popularly used as processional or recessional music for weddings.

Scored for 6 flutes, with the optional substitution of piccolo (for Flute 2), alto flute (for Flute 5), and bass flute (for Flute 6)
