Gavotte en Rondeau

About Gavotte en Rondeau

J.S. Bach wrote this gavotte en rondeau for solo lute in 1736-37 as the third of seven movements in Suite in E Major (BWV 1006a).

Holly Gwin, inspired by a performance of the suite by Chinese guitarist Meng Su, arranged it for hammered dulcimer in G major and recorded it in 2018.

Holly Gwin studied dulcimer with Maggie Sansone and Karen Ashbrook, and writes and arranges music in her studio in the Southern Appalachians. She has also served in Congress and the White House to support scientific research.
