Suite
In
music, a suite is an organized set of
instrumental or
orchestral pieces normally performed at a single sitting, as a separate musical performance, not accompanying an
opera,
ballet, or theater-piece. In the
Baroque era, the pieces are usually in the same key, and generally modelled after dance music. The suite was also known as Suite de danses, or Ordre (for example by
François Couperin) or Partita. In the eighteenth century, suites were also known as concert
overtures or
ouvertures. After the
symphonic poems of
Franz Liszt in the
1840s and
1850s, suites also included collections of
tone poems.
