BLURB: This gavotte is part of Bach’s French Suite Number five — written not in France, but in Germany, and in the French style. The music is graceful, precise, and is part of a group of dances, many of which were created in the 16th century.

BLURB: Tchaikovsky wrote his Album for the Young to give children music that was both beautiful and educational. The “Italian Song” is light and lyrical, capturing the sound of folk music from a distant land.
