Title: A Suite of Baroque Dances
Level: Grade I
Composer/Arranger: G.F. Handel/Arr. John Kinyon
Publisher: Alfred Publishing
Classification: Suite
Instrumentation: Full
Source: Popplers music score
General Comments: This arrangement is a wonderful opportunity to explore the musical contrasts common to Baroque period literature. The first movement, Gavotte, is Allegretto which indicates a lighter style of playing. The second movement is a lyrical Sarabande, and the third is a moderately fast Minuet. Young students will learn something valuable and remain enthusiastic about their playing.
