what are your favorite Suites you ever played or listened to
Hi I was wondering what your guys favorite suites were in hs or college my favorite was English Folk Song Suite wich we recently played last year at pearson park with our 2nd band. I like the 3rd suite wich we played for honor band also and First Suite in Eb wich i heard our top band play it last year for festival. The only one I liked all the 3 movements was in Folk Song Suite because the 2nd movement was the best out of the other 2 suites 2nd movement. and also it was the one I enjoyed playing the most

If one is good, two is better
Milhaud and Van der Roost both wrote compositions called "Suite Provencal" There is also another Suite Francaise by Francis Poulenc.

So many choices
I could list about 40 suites that I love. That number would be larger had I not eliminated suites from Ballets, etc. and stayed with music that was wriiten as a suite.
Here are a few.
Le Tombeau de Couperin-Ravel (orch)
Nocturnes-Debussy (orch)
The Planets-Holst (band/orch)
Terpsichore-Margolis (band)
Original Suite-Jacob (band)
Of Sailor and Whales-McBeth (band)
Thirds Suite-Jager (band)
Suite of Old American Dances-Bennett (band)
