La Guirlande de Campra is collaborative orchestral work written by seven French composers in 1952. It is in the form of variations or meditations on a theme from André Campra's 1717 opera Camille, reine des Volsques.[1]
The numbers and their composers are:
Toccata (Arthur Honegger*)[2]
Sarabande et farandole (Daniel Lesur)[3][4]
Canarie (Alexis Roland-Manuel)
Sarabande (Germaine Tailleferre*)
Matelote provençale (Francis Poulenc*)
Variation (Henri Sauguet)
Écossaise (Georges Auric*)[5]
*Member of the group Les Six
The work was first performed on 30 July 1952[6] at the Aix-en-Provence Festival, by the Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire, under conductor Hans Rosbaud.[3]
Benjamin Britten attended the premiere, and it gave him the idea of commissioning several composers to contribute to a set of Variations on an Elizabethan Theme to celebrate the forthcoming coronation of Elizabeth II, for which he was also writing his opera Gloriana.[7][8]
