- Orchestra: Omroep Orkest
- Conductor: Henk Spruit
- Year of recording: Somewhere between 1948-1971 (please tell me if you know!!)
Suite Pastorale in E major, Op. 8, voor orkest {for orchestra}, written in 1903.
00:00 - I. Allegretto
04:34 - II. Poco Allegretto, quasi Andantino
08:18 - III. Mesto. Tempo di Valse
12:52 - IV. Finale. Moderato
This Suite Pastorale in E major by Dutch composer Schäfer, features very memorable melodies, and good orchestration throughout. It's composed in the late-romantic tradition, and the Tristan chord is quoted in the piece: it's not clear if this was meant as mockery or as a tribute, since Schäfer was a big admirer of Brahms' music.
Mengelberg and the Concertgebouw Orchestra gave the premiere of the Suite Pastorale (and the Rhapsodie Javanaise as well) in 1905.
