The suite is in three movements and each movement is either inspired by, or an arrangement of songs and dances from the Caribbean islands of Martinique and Trinidad and Tobago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first, \u003cem\u003eBiguine\u003c\/em\u003e 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 dance is historically associated with the town of Saint - Pierre (birthplace of my own maternal grandfather) and the form has evolved from the beginning of the 20th century to encompass satirical themes, politics, love, and the carnival. The clarinet is the main instrument of the Biguine, a name whose origins are highly contested although the most widespread belief is that it comes from the English verb, \"to begin\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second movement is an arrangement of a quadrille song, \u003cem\u003eYou know one Joseph Keeba\u003c\/em\u003e from a field recording in the village of Toco, in Trinidad. in 1939 an American couple, Melville and Frances Herskovits, both scholars, undertook a series of field study recordings in villages across Trinidad and Tobago as part of their life-long study of West African and African American societies. The Herskovits' were among the first scholars to paint accurate accounts of African culture in North America, The Caribbean and South America and thanks to their recordings, traditional songs that have long disappeared from practise can still be found and serve as inspiration for generations to come. The words of the song make fun of the cuckold husband.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third movement, \u003cem\u003eTime for Man Go Home\u003c\/em\u003e is an arrangement of a work song from a collection of Trinidad Folk songs by the eminent Trinidadian musicologist Edric Connor. in this song, built on a call and response, I have combined the solo melody with the chorus response to give the sense of a long working day coming to its end at dusk and the workers calling out that it is \u003cem\u003etime for man go home\u003c\/em\u003e. Mr. Connor's note in the collection remarks that this is the only song calling to stop work that he knows.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schott","offers":[{"title":"Printed Edition","offer_id":42168806277199,"sku":"ED14162","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Download","offer_id":42255411871823,"sku":"Q583378","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/6f9aefd6975544b1d8ba83728961028b.jpg?v=1772906725"},{"product_id":"le-gendre-le-genie-humain-schott","title":"Le Gendre: Le Génie Humain","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dominique-le-gendre\"\u003eDominique Le Gendre (1960-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eString Quartet (Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello)\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Le Génie Humain (2013)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISMN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9790220139499\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.9\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.schott-music.com\/en\/preview\/viewer\/index\/?idx=NzgxNjQz\u0026amp;idy=781643\u0026amp;dl=0\" class=\"global-button global-button--text\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" fill=\"currentColor\" class=\"bi bi-book\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 16\" style=\"margin-right: 5px;\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M1 2.828c.885-.37 2.154-.769 3.388-.893 1.33-.134 2.458.063 3.112.752v9.746c-.935-.53-2.12-.603-3.213-.493-1.18.12-2.37.461-3.287.811V2.828zm7.5-.141c.654-.689 1.782-.886 3.112-.752 1.234.124 2.503.523 3.388.893v9.923c-.918-.35-2.107-.692-3.287-.81-1.094-.111-2.278-.039-3.213.492V2.687zM8 1.783C7.015.936 5.587.81 4.287.94c-1.514.153-3.042.672-3.994 1.105A.5.5 0 0 0 0 2.5v11a.5.5 0 0 0 .707.455c.882-.4 2.303-.881 3.68-1.02 1.409-.142 2.59.087 3.223.877a.5.5 0 0 0 .78 0c.633-.79 1.814-1.019 3.222-.877 1.378.139 2.8.62 3.681 1.02A.5.5 0 0 0 16 13.5v-11a.5.5 0 0 0-.293-.455c-.952-.433-2.48-.952-3.994-1.105C10.413.809 8.985.936 8 1.783z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e Look Inside! \u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe piece opens with the strings swaying between two notes that are either right next to each other or 15 tones apart but the interplay of these two notes sets each instrument in sympathetic vibration with each other. A melodic line appears in the first violin and is continued by the double bass while the second violin and viola continue to play with the two-note motif, pushing it rhythmically and melodically as far as is possible, exposing the tensions and friction as the melody soars higher and higher. Then a pizzicato motif introduces a return to the opening melody in the second violin that is repeated by the first violin as gradually each instrument resumes the climb to a higher plane where they all settle, steadily repeating as they decrease in volume, the height achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e© Dominque Le Gendre\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schott","offers":[{"title":"Score \u0026 Set of Parts","offer_id":42449993826383,"sku":"ED14166","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Score \u0026 Set of Parts - Digital Download","offer_id":42474333896783,"sku":"Q781643","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/f5762cf091cbb1a19ba10ed5ef6e3588.jpg?v=1767451762"},{"product_id":"le-gendre-missa-brevis-schott","title":"Le Gendre: Missa Brevis","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dominique-le-gendre\"\u003eDominique Le Gendre (1960-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eSATB Choir\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Missa brevis (2024)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork Language\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-language\"\u003eLatin\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISMN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9790220140037\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.3\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e11.8\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.schott-music.com\/en\/preview\/viewer\/index\/?idx=Nzg4Mjg1\u0026amp;idy=788285\u0026amp;dl=0\" class=\"global-button global-button--text\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" fill=\"currentColor\" class=\"bi bi-book\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 16\" style=\"margin-right: 5px;\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M1 2.828c.885-.37 2.154-.769 3.388-.893 1.33-.134 2.458.063 3.112.752v9.746c-.935-.53-2.12-.603-3.213-.493-1.18.12-2.37.461-3.287.811V2.828zm7.5-.141c.654-.689 1.782-.886 3.112-.752 1.234.124 2.503.523 3.388.893v9.923c-.918-.35-2.107-.692-3.287-.81-1.094-.111-2.278-.039-3.213.492V2.687zM8 1.783C7.015.936 5.587.81 4.287.94c-1.514.153-3.042.672-3.994 1.105A.5.5 0 0 0 0 2.5v11a.5.5 0 0 0 .707.455c.882-.4 2.303-.881 3.68-1.02 1.409-.142 2.59.087 3.223.877a.5.5 0 0 0 .78 0c.633-.79 1.814-1.019 3.222-.877 1.378.139 2.8.62 3.681 1.02A.5.5 0 0 0 16 13.5v-11a.5.5 0 0 0-.293-.455c-.952-.433-2.48-.952-3.994-1.105C10.413.809 8.985.936 8 1.783z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e Look Inside! \u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schott","offers":[{"title":"Printed Edition","offer_id":43516324347983,"sku":"ED14256","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Download","offer_id":45106687836239,"sku":"Q788285","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/f2482fba541c90b000b71559a5269590.jpg?v=1755290515"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/collections\/dominique-le-gendre.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
