Suite Antique
Suite Antique is a 1979 concertante work by John Rutter that is written for harpsichord, flute and string orchestra.[1][2]
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.[3] One of Rutter's most popular orchestral works, it has become an important standard in contemporary flute repertoire and been recorded several times by Rutter and others.[4][5][6]
