Product Description

Berceuse, arranged here for a Woodwind Sextet of 2 flutes, 2 clarinets in B flat and 2 bass clarinets in B flat, is taken from Gabriel Faurés set of piano duets,  known as the Dolly Suite which was composed between 1893-96. Each duet marks the birthdays, anniversaries and other occasions in the life of the daughter of Faurés mistress, Emma Bardac. The daughter, Régina-Hélène Bardac, was known as Dolly to her family. Fauré often went back and tinkered with this suite, and in 1906 Henri Rabaud created an orchestra version although Faurés original piano duets remained more popular. 

The Suite is in six short movements, with Fauré giving them descriptive and rather whimsical names. 
Berceuse is the opening movement and the best known of the Suite not least as it was used in the UK as the closing theme to the BBC radio programme Listen with Mother". This gentle lullaby marks Dollys first birthday.

The pdf contains both score and parts.

Another movement from Dolly Suite "Le Pas Espagnol" is available for 2 flutes, oboe, 2 clarinets and bassoon.
