These popular airs and dances, by composers such as Boismortier, Chédeville, Destouches, Grétry, Marais, Montéclair, and Mondonville, derive from the court, countryside and theatre.
“This collection includes 16 delightful French Baroque pieces arranged for solo violin, flute, or oboe. The arrangements are from reduced scores of ballets, operas, and dance music, and the solo parts have stylistically appropriate ornamentations...A keyboard part with optional bass, cello, or bassoon continuo is included, as well as a CD with performances and play-along tracks.”--The Instrumentalist
