The Ancient Airs and Dances are a collection of free transcriptions from lute pieces from the 16th and 17th centuries, created by Ottorino Respighi and organized in three suites for different orchestral organism. In 1917 Respighi composed the First Suite, in 1923 the Second Suite and in 1931 the Third Suite. His wife Elsa picked them up and reorganized them all in 1937.
In our original arrangement the eight real parts that make up the ensemble try to reproduce all the orchestral colors designed by Respighi, with the aim of creating a fascinating synthesis between ensuring the presence of fundamental instruments for Respighi, such as harp and harpsichord, and the search for a new and modern sound, with the inclusion of accordion and bass tuba.
