Jules Mouquet

[Reverie]

Jules Mouquet (1867 – 1946)

Mouquet became professor of harmony at the Conservatoire de Paris in 1913. Mouquet's main influences were the late Romantic and Impressionist composers. His best known work is probably his Sonata, Op. 15 La Flûte de Pan, composed in 1906, with versions for flute and orchestra, and flute and piano.

Here is the second movement of his Suite for Wind Instruments, Aubade. If there is such a thing as "frenchness" in music then this piece exudes it in my humble opinion.

That's very pretty, and good work with the synth rendition which is more convincing than most! Did you consider uploading the score to IMSLP? I'm sure some wind ensembles would be interested.

Oh now I see it's already on IMSLP, thanks to Eric S.

Thank you.

I made the "virtual" performance as there was no recording seemingly available. As you pointed out a recording has now appeared on IMSLP , rather hastily 

I agree it would be great if wind ensembles got to perform the suite - it is quite charming.
