Bach: 6 Movements from the Orchestral Suites - flute trio

Bach: 6 Movements from the Orchestral Suites arranged for Flute Trio 2 flutes & alto flute

The four orchestral suites BWV 1066–1069 (called Ouvertures by their composer) are four suites by Johann Sebastian Bach from the years 1724–1731. The name ouverture refers only in part to the opening movement in the style of the French overture, in which a majestic opening section in relatively slow dotted-note rhythm in duple meter is followed by a fast fugalsection, then rounded off with a short recapitulation of the opening music. More broadly, the term was used in Baroque Germany for a suite of dance-pieces in French Baroque style preceded by such an ouverture. 

The Six Movements are from 2 of the Suites:

Suite 3 in D: Gavottes 1 & 2, and Bourée

Suite 2 in B min: Rondeau,Menuet and Badinerie

The mp3 is a one minute sample of Gavotte No 1 from Suite No.3
