About This Song
About "Handel: Concerto grosso in D Major, HWV 323: VI. Menuet. Un poco larghetto (Transcr. for Piccolo Trumpet and Baroque Orchestra by " by Alison Balsom
The menuet unfolds as a gentle, courtly farewell. Balsom's piccolo trumpet floats above a cushion of strings, un poco larghetto—a touch slower, a touch sweeter. There's a wistful quality here, as if the dance is ending and the candles are burning low. Elegant, bittersweet, and quietly radiant.
