optional subcontrabass in G
Primosch chose to quote the Orchestral Suite in B Minor for his Badinerie Squared
The piece was commissioned by the Bowral Autumn Music Festival 2023 and expertly premiered by Sally Walker (flute) and Vivian Choi Milton (piano)
thus they can easily be used as a prelude or introduction to the same titles used during a church service
All parts get a chance for a tune with the Alto taking the lead in the verse and the flutes leading the rousing refrain
