Suite Antique


Suite Antique is a 1979 concertante work by John Rutter that is written for harpsichord, flute and string orchestra.
Rutter composed the piece, in six movements, for a concert at which Bach's fifth Brandenburg concerto was to be performed, and so decided to write the piece for the same ensemble. One of Rutter's most popular orchestral works, it has been recorded several times by Rutter and others.
