        Programme Note

        Compilation of items from ‘The Limpid Stream’, Op. 39 (No. 1), ‘Song of the Great Rivers’, Op. 95 (No. 2), and ‘The Bolt’, Op. 27 (No. 3), which is a recycled version of ‘Waltz’ from ‘Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 1’. Derek C. Hulme states that all four Ballet Suites (the fifth is from the Ballet ‘The Bolt’) were initially compiled by the composer using diverse items from his ballet, stage and film scores. This compilations were later prepared for publication (1949, 1951, 1952 and 1953) by Levon Atovmyan, who frequently changed order and titles of the pieces.
