David Farquhar - Moonshine Suite

David Farquhar - Moonshine Suite (2002)
The Moonshine Suite was completed it in 2002. The composer had felt disappointed that the various suites based on his incidental music for the Jean Anouilh/Christopher Fry play Ring Round the Moon had eclipsed his more serious writing in popularity. Nevertheless, he eventually came to feel that he should write something in a similarly popular vein. The result was the Moonshine Suite. (The similarity to the dances in Ring Round the Moon will be obvious).

The suite is in six movements:

  1. Medley

  2. Serenade

  3. Rhumba

  4. Waltz

  5. Why not

  6. Finale
