Faure’s piano duet entitled “Dolly Suite” is here arranged by Philip Le Bas for a wind quintet. “Dolly” was the nickname of the baby daughter of Emma Bardac, with whom Faure had a long-running affair.

The “Berceuse” (lullaby) is best remembered as the theme tune to the BBC’s “Listen with Mother”, and its melody is indelibly marked into the memories of generations of radio listeners between 1950 and 1982. It was written for Dolly’s first birthday. (An alternative part for clarinet in A is available for this movement, to avoid the otherwise slightly tricky key signature of F sharp major!)
