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:
Medley
Serenade
Rhumba
Waltz
Why not
Finale
