Le Gendre, D :: Songs and Dances of the Islands, Suite No. 2
Publisher: Schott
Edition Schott presents 'Songs and Dances of the Islands, Suite No. 2' for flute and piano by composer Dominique Le Gendre.
The composer writes about this piece, 'This suite was of songs and dances was commissioned by the piano/clarinet duet of Luca Ferrini and Joze Kotar. The suite is in three movements and each movement is either inspired by, or an arrangement of songs and dnaces from the Caribbean islands of Martinique and Trinidad and Tobago.
'The first movement 'Biguine' is a typical Martiniquan dance built on a simple verse-chorus structure and without doubt, the result of the fusion of African and European cultures over centuries. The second movement is an arrangement of a quadrille song, 'You know one Joseph Keeba' from a field recording in the village of Toco, in Trinidad. The words of the song make fun of the cuckold husband. The third movement, 'Time for Man Go Home' is an arrangement of a work song from a collection of Trinidad Folk songs by the eminent Trinidadian musicologist Edric Connor.'
