Programme Note
One of the greatest showpieces for any orchestra, I arranged Ravel's incredible
Le Tombeau de Couperin for my colleagues in Ensemble Q in 2020. The ensemble
performed the arrangement for the first time on October 12, 2021 in the
Conservatorium Theatre on Brisbane's SouthBank. You can see the performance on YouTube. I am indebted to the members of Ensemble Q, not only for their wonderful playing, but for their patience and help with the arrangement of this very detailed work. The performers at the first performance were:
Virginia Taylor flute
Huw Jones oboe
Paul Dean clarinet
David Mitchell bassoon
Peter Luff horn
Natsuko Yoshimoto violin 1
Sonia Wilson violin 2
Imants Larsens viola
Trish Dean cello
Phoebe Russell bass
I hope you enjoy this wonderful music, Best wishes, Paul Dean
