Description:

The Suite Alg�rienne, Op. 60, sparked by a trip that Camille Saint-Sa�ns (1835-1921) took to Algeria in 1873, debuted in Paris in December 1880 with Edouard Colonne conducting.  For the rest of his life, the composer nurtured a deep appreciation for the country which inspired the work.  The fourth movement, Marche militaire fran�aise, has become popular with audiences.  Its patriotic energy, contrasted with the exoticism of the last three movements, serves as a time capsule of occupied Algeria and the feelings of security that the composer felt on meeting French troops and other sights that reminded him of his homeland. Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2.2.2: 4.2+2.3.1: Timp.Perc(2-3): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set). Reprint edition.
