While not one of his better known works, Suite De Ballet for Flute and Piano, composed around 1924, is a prime example of this. Each of the four movements is influenced by or taken from English folk songs and dances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first movement, \u003cem\u003eImprovisation\u003c\/em\u003e, is slow and lyrical, and meant to sound as if the flute is improvising the ethereal melody. \u003cem\u003eHumoresque\u003c\/em\u003e is a short, quick and lively movement, which is characteristic of the humoresque genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough originating in France, the gavotte was also a very popular dance in England. Gavotte, as is common for any gavotte, begins in the middle of a bar, and then continues with an easy dance feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final movement, \u003cem\u003ePassepied\u003c\/em\u003e, is the longest and most exciting movement. However, unlike traditional passepied dances, this movement is notated in 2\/4, instead of 3\/8 or 6\/8.\" - Shey Dillon, 2013\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46965609759014,"sku":"9780193851054","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/D009780193851054.jpg?v=1697465168","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/vaughan-williams-r-suite-de-ballet","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
