This 4-movement suite is based on authentic folk tunes from the beautiful southern province in France: the Provence. The composer used a harmonic language respecting the popular characteristics, but on the other hand also contains some spicy notes (... just like the well-known Provençal sauce! ...). The instrumentation is very colourful, paying a lot of attention to the different timbres of both brass and woodwinds as well as to the percussion section. Every movement has its own character: Un Ange a fa la crido (= An angel brought the creed / credo) is like a bourrée, Adam e sa Coumpagnou (= Adam and his companion) is an old love song, Lou Fustié (= the carpenter) a fast dance and finally Lis Escoubo (= a whistle tune / popular ballad) is a farandole. In the latter, the old tradition of folk musicians who play a whistle with one hand and a drum with the other hand, is clearly represented during the first presentations of the one and only theme.) Although this piece is not too demanding, a well-balanced band is necessary to perform it successfully. Thanks to the contrasts and the varying colours, it keeps on holding the attention.
