Rondeau (Theme from Masterpiece Theatre), originally the “Fanfare-Rondeau” from Jean‑Joseph Mouret’s Suite of Symphonies (1729), is a Baroque-style masterpiece suiting a Grade 2 full orchestra (arranged by Vernon Leidig). Built around a regal, repeating theme in rondo form, its bright fanfares and gracious elegance have made it instantly recognizable as the opening of PBS's Masterpiece Theatre . Timbres shimmer, rhythms delight, and the piece offers an approachable yet stately crowd-pleaser—perfect for school and community performances.
