Product Description

This is the double reed ensemble version of J'ai Vu Le Loup (I saw the Wolf). "J'ai Vu Le Loup" is an old French song in which the Gregorian chant tune of "Dies Irae" becomes a lively dance. The lyrics describe seeing the wolf, the fox, and the hare (possibly the King, the Church, and the Landlord) eating, drinking, and dancing. Variations of this song seem to exist from as early as the 13th century and can be found in several European countries as well as in modern Cajun and Quebec French versions. Even modern pop and rap performers have made use of it. This double reed ensemble arrangement begins simply, then builds throughout to a frenzied, syncopated finale. Each part has its own interest. An alternate english horn version of the oboe d'amore part is included.
