Rameau-Tambourin arr. Huestis (SP)-2 mall. inst./P/opt. 2 T/opt./PN

Originally from a suite for solo harpsichord in E minor, Rameau’s Tambourin has been transposed, simplified, and scored for young flexible percussion ensemble by Michael Huestis. The Tambourin is a spirited dance form that adds a lively touch to Baroque dance suites. With origins in French folk traditions, the dance infuses energy and excitement into the suite’s repertoire.
