Description

Marin Marais – Arranged by Melanie Thorne

‘The Bells of Sainte-Geneviève du Mont de Paris’ is a work by Marin

Marais written in 1723, originally  for viol, violin and harpsichord with

basso continuo.  The original is written as a passacaglia or chaconne.

This arrangement for saxophone octet is a slightly shortened version

of the original with rhythmic and melodic interest in all parts.

Considering this work is nearly 300 years old, this ensemble gives

the music a surprisingly contemporary sound. (Grade 6-8)
