Additional info/contents	This five-movement suite was created during the composer's exile in America during the Second World War, when France was occupied by the German Reich. It describes five landscapes, in which crucial war actions took place. It is rare that a composition is conceived first for winds then later transcribed for orchestra, but such is the case with Suite Francaise. Premiered by the famed Goldman Band in 1945, this magnificent work in five movements is one of the enduring classics of the symphonic band repertoire, and continues to be a popular choice for contests and festivals.
