In 1959, Duke Ellington played at an arts festival in England and met Queen Elizabeth. So enchanted by Her Majesty was he that upon his return to America, Ellington composed the six-part "Queen's Suite." Ellington recorded one copy and sent it to the Queen, never intending it to be released commercially. The two other suites collected here were similarly composed for specific events rather than as commercial releases, but all three provide fascinating glimpses into the musical maturation of an American compositional giant.
Beginning with the evocative "Sunset and the Mockingbird," inspired by a birdsong Ellington chanced to hear when in England, the suite's other sections also echo sounds and sights of the natural world: the northern lights, lightning bugs and frogs. Ellington wrote "The Goutelas Suite" to commemorate the renovation or a 13th century French chateau. The suite conveys the flurry of activity of the building process in the rousing "Get-With-Itness" and the majesty of the finished product in the shiveringly beautiful "Something." "The UWIS Suite," (shorthand for University of Wisconsin), was written during a 1972 Ellington Festival there. Its short middle section, "Klop," is Ellington's lone polka.
