suiteIn baroque music, a set of contrasting instrumental pieces based on dance forms, known by their French names as allemande, bourrée, courante, gavotte, gigue, minuet, musette, passepied, rigaudon, sarabande, and so on. The term refers in more recent usage to a concert arrangement of set pieces from an extended ballet or stage composition, such as Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite (1891-92). Igor Stravinsky's suite from The Soldier's Tale (1920) incorporates a tango, waltz, and ragtime. |
