Program Notes
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.
Key Characteristics
Tempo and Style: The Tambourin is known for its brisk tempo and vibrant style. Its rapid and lively movements evoke a sense of enthusiasm and dynamism.
Meter and Rhythm: Typically, the Tambourin features a fast tempo with a simple and lively duple meter (2/4 or 4/4). Its energetic rhythm contributes to its lively and celebratory character.
Instrumentation: As the name suggests, the Tambourin often incorporates percussive elements, including tambourines, to enhance its rhythmic texture and festive atmosphere. Structure: The Tambourin follows a binary structure, divided into two distinct sections that are often repeated. This structured pattern allows for variations and improvisations within the dance. Melody and Musical Traits: Tambourins are recognized for their catchy and spirited melodies. They often feature rhythmic patterns that reflect the influence of folk music.
Expression: The Tambourin radiates a sense of exuberance and celebration. Its lively nature captures the festive and joyful spirit of Baroque dance.
