Programme notes *: Fête Galante was thr term used to describe the most popular paintings of Watteau, the French artist of the early eighteenth century. In his idealised landscapes, figures in fancy dress embark on a voyage to an enchanted island; lovers pass each other in courtly dances and meet again in moonlit masquerades. It is a dream-world, but one suffused with true emotion, a Romantic yearning for an unatteinable Arcadia. This pastoral fantasy inspired me to write a work in three movements based on dance-forms: "Pavane" has one main extended melody, which recours several times with increasing elaboration. In contrast, "Menuet" is a very short linking section played by the principal soloists, resulting in a chamber music texture. The final "Bourrée des Masques" is a fast march-rondo featuring fanfare motifs, punctuated by syncopated percussion accents.
