Name that piece! The game

[DavidW]

That was a good one!  And my interest is peaked, I've added a Dutilleux cd to my bro cart.

So are you going to pass control to Drasko since he came closest?

Yes, I'd say Drasko came closest, it is his if he wants to take it up.  Otherwise I can generate another one, or let someone else volunteer.

[Sergeant Rock]

I was wrong. I don't own it (only have two works by Dutilleux in my collection: Cinq Métaboles and the Sonatina for Flute and Piano) so this is a real puzzle. I still swear I know the music. I just don't know how I could.

The Mystery Piece is

Henri Dutilleux
Le Loup - Fragments Symphoniques
Orchestre de la Societe des Concerts du Conservatoire
Georges Pretre
October 1961, Salle Wagram, Paris, EMI France
The piece seems to have been popular.  I've posted the full third movement, from which I extracted the snip.

That's it! I think that seals the deal... that disc has been wish-listed, though not as high-priority. I think this snippet has changed things around.

Thanks for this.

There were a few guesses of Roussel, which I think comes closest.  When I first heard the piece it brought Roussel's  Bacchus et Ariane to mind. 

That was exactly my first thought, Bacchanale from Bacchus et Ariane.

I can do the next round, give me just few minutes to rip, cut and upload.

[Drasko]

Ok, here it is. Shouldn't be too difficult.

[DavidW]

I would guess Lully perhaps?

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

It sounds 'alla turca' and 18th century.

[DavidW]

Rameau Les Indes galantes?

[klingsor]

Henry Purcell?

[Drasko]

I would guess Lully perhaps?

I guess it was even simpler than I thought. Are we looking for the piece or you won already?

It sounds 'alla turca' and 18th century.

Right, but wrong century, it's 17th.

[DavidW]

I guess it was even simpler than I thought. Are we looking for the piece or you won already?

Well I don't know the piece, I just picked up on the style.  So if you want we can keep playing to see if anyone knows the piece.  Else I gotta a stinker to post (nothing like Gurn's though! )

[Drasko]

No, no need to drag it. It's Marche pour la cérémonie des Turcs from Le Bourgeois gentilhomme.

Looks like some good music, and Minkowski performing, awesome!

Alright I'll post mine...

[DavidW]

Alrighty here we go, let's have some fun!

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

I think I know... The composer's surname starts with an M?

[DavidW]

Well you have to give me the name if you want a yes or no!

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Mendelssohn. Drei Psalmen.

Son of a gun!  I thought I had a good one!   Yeah you win.
