Pièces de Clavecin, Livre 1 [5/5]: Ordre 5 en La majeur - Couperin (Score)

Score of François Couperin's fifth order in A major from his first book (published in 1713) of "Pieces for the Harpsichord", an extensive collection of 220 short compositions arranged in 27 orders. Just as we thought his orders were undergoing a shift in lenght and structure after the previous one, Couperin backtracks and proves major-key orders can also be dense and lengthy and follow the main standard pattern. But this one innovates in having not just one or a handful but six total rondeaus, making it a little bit longer and repetitive than expected because of the continuous refrain restatements (Ross even skips the last couplet of "L'Angélique" to make it shorter) An order is similar in nature to the suite - that is, in its historical definition, a succession of dance movements. Nevertheless, Couperin decides to interpret them in a vaguer way (as its name, "order", implies) and frees them from their strict structure, turning them into a more poetic, expressive and audacious design. For example, some of them can have around 20 pieces or even more, making them twice as long as any Bach or Handel suite. The name of their movements are also a clear example of his particular quasi-narrative view: titles like "The Butterflies", "March of the Grey-Dressed", "The Mysterious Barricades", "The Brave Girl" or "The Victorious Nightingale" demonstrate his depictive intentions. But these musical depictions are not always explicit or detailed; they remain capricious and, as stated before, poetic. Couperin was also an amazing keyboard virtuoso, both at the harpsichord and the orgue, and one can identify these qualities in the astoundingly ornamented style these orders have. 00:00 - (Introduction) 00:18 - Allemande "La Logivière" 04:44 - [Premiere] Courante 07:16 - Seconde Courante 09:29 - Sarabande "La Dangereuse" 12:40 - Gigue 14:57 - "La tendre Fanchon" 18:30 - "La Badine" 20:36 - "La Bandoline" 23:03 - "La Flore" 25:15 - "L'Angélique" 27:21 - "La Villers" 30:17 - "Les Vendangeuses" 32:10 - "Les Agrémens" 36:09 - "Les Ondes" Performer: Scott Ross
