Town of the Seven Hills

This 4-movement suite tells the story of the beautiful French town Tulle' that was built on seven hills, just like Rome and Lisbon. The composer depicts the history of the town, as well as important events such as the bloodbath during World War II, the fabric tulle' after which the town is named and the festive annual fair. Since Tulle is also known for the production of accordions, the composer added an ad libitum' accordion part. A really charming and stylish concert or contest work!
