Tune of the Day: Les Reitres
Flute duet by J.B. de Boismortier
This short piece is the third duet in C major from the 55 Easy Pieces collection by French Baroque composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. “Reître” is an old French word used to indicate a type of cavalry of German origin which started to appear in the armies of Western Europe in the 16th century.
