Poulenc: Rondeau (Les Biches ballet)

WORLD PREMIERE
This is the Rondeau from the suite which was condensed down from the full length ballet. It was used many years ago as the title music for a TV programme but otherwise I suppose the whole work is not terribly well known which is a pity.
Combining wonderful melodies with typical Poulenc quirkiness and considerable hints to jazz both in terms of harmony and syncopation, I believe the piece is fresh and exciting.
As stated above, this is a world premiere of my own transcription of the orchestral work for organ and I have also prepared a proper organ score.
The piece is performed on the Concert 125 which is a distinctly romantic styled organ with considerable orchestral resources. The piece features the French Horn and string section as well as the Choir Trumpet with no upperwork to provide a quasi orchestral sound.
Perhaps it may be up to someone else to provide a performance based on a more organ like registration
