Three-Piece Suite image
Though published here primarily for bassoon trio, Three Piece Suite was composed for the London Serpent Trio who premiered the work at the Marlborough Arts Festival in June 1986. The obsolete serpent is a rare creature and serpent trios are even rarer, so subsequent performances have been on bassoon, for which it is a perfect fit.
Tucket: A Shakespearian term for a short processional fanfare.
Serenade to a French Girl: A slow waltz marked con amore. The French girl in question was the one I was married to at the time.
Folk Dance: No cosy dance on an English village green but a strenuous romp with Slavic overtones. My maternal grandfather, whom I never met, was Russian, and I sometimes hear his voice speaking to me through my music.
Paul Lewis
