Sonnerie de Ste. Genevieve du Mont de Paris

One of Marin Marais' best-known works, The Bells of St. Genevieve was originally written for viol, violin, and harpsichord with basso continuo. Its melodic lines are shared by viol and violin, while a repeating D-F-E makes up the bass line. Thorne takes care when arranging this classic for clarinet and saxophone ensemble, extending some phrases to accommodate the new setting.
