Programme notes *: The composition "Cotillon" by Arthur Benjamin, arranged for wind orchestra by Wilhelm H. Silvester, presents a fascinating collection of dance tunes from the 18th century that Benjamin discovered in an old book called "The Dancing Schoole". Published in London in 1719. Silvester's skillful transcription of this suite into a lively and charming concert piece has helped bring these forgotten melodies back to life and make them accessible to modern audiences. The "Cotillon" suite consists of seven movements, each presenting a unique dance melody that captures the lively and convivial atmosphere of the 18th century. The first movement, "Introduction and Lord Hereford's Delight", opens the work with a solemn introduction, followed by a graceful dance melody that sets the tone for the entire piece. "Daphne's Delight", the second movement, presents a lively and playful melody accompanied by an infectious rhythm. "Marlboro's Victory", the third movement, offers a powerful and heroic atmosphere reminiscent of the military triumphs of the time. "Love's Triumph and Jigg it E Foot", the fourth movement, combines a tender love melody with a cheerful and lively dance rhythm. "The Charmer", the fifth movement, presents a seductive and elegant melody characterized by a gentle and flowing tempo. "Nymph Divine", the sixth movement, captures the beauty and grace of a divine nymph in a delicate and melodic manner. "The Tattler and Argyle", the seventh and final movement, concludes the suite with a lively and spirited dance that reflects the energy and joy of life of the 18th century. Overall, "Cotillon" by Arthur Benjamin, arranged for wind orchestra by Wilhelm H. Silvester, is a fascinating and entertaining work that brings the charming dance melodies of the 18th century back to life. Silvester's sensitive transcription and the lively interpretation by the wind orchestra make this piece a highlight in every concert program and show the timeless beauty and appeal of music from bygone eras.
