Georges Bizet는 프랑스 출생으로 너무 빠른 나이에 요절했습니다. Carmen과 함께 우리에게 익숙한 곡이 진주잡이 중 로망스 '귀에 남을 그대음성' 그리고 아를의 여인 조곡 제2번 '미뉴엣', 즉 지금 듣고 계시는곡입니다.   Georges Bizet (October 25, 1838 – June 3, 1875) was a French composer, mainly of operas. In a career cut short by his early death, he achieved few successes before his final work, Carmen, became one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertory. <Wikipedia>

 Georges Bizet (비제)가 만든 이 작품은 프랑스 문호로 유명한 알퐁스 도데의 희곡

아를의 여인(Alphonse Daudet's novel and play L'Arlésienne)에 삽입된 27곡

극음악으로 후에 27곡중에서 4곡을 발췌해서 관현악용으로 편곡한 것이 [제1 모음]

그 뒤 다시 4곡을 발췌하여 편곡한 것이 [제2 모음]입니다.

 

지금 듣고 계시는 '미뉴엣'은 희곡 제3막 2장 중에 연주되는데

플룻 독주로 청아하게 테마로 소개한 뒤 다소 거칠은 중간부를 두고

플룻은 하프의 obligato를 얻어 아름답게 끝납니다.

플룻의 가락이 너무 아름다워 오늘날 플룻 연주곡의 대명사처럼

여겨지고 있는 작품입니다.

 

L'Arlésienne is a short story, written by Alphonse Daudet and first published

in his collection Letters From 'My Windmill (Lettres de mon moulin)' in 1869.

Menuet from L'Arlésienne

by Georges Bizet

 

This pretty minuet constitutes the third movement of L'Arlésienne Suite No. 2. This second suite was put together rather clumsily by Bizet's friend Ernest Giraud after the composer's death. Bizet had already used most of his best music in the first suite, so for the second Guiraud had only leftovers to deal with. He compensated in part by pulling in music from other sources, and composing new music upon themes from the incidental score.

This minuet in particular is actually an intruder: it was borrowed from Act 3 of Bizet's La jolie fille de Perth (The Fair Maid of Perth). And it doesn't appear in the original incidental music to L'Arlésienne at all! Nonetheless, it is regarded as the most emotional movement of the whole work, and it is frequently played. It's a lovely flute-and-harp piece that originally accompanied a scene of aristocratic seduction, with a ceremonial Trio section for full orchestra.
