Jacob Gade’s Suite d’Amour is a short orchestral suite in three connected movements—“The First Meeting,” “In Love,” and “Red Roses”—that together run about eleven minutes. The music is lyrical and melodic in character, drawing on Gade’s gift for tuneful miniatures rather than extended development. The suite is scored for a modest symphony orchestra (winds in pairs, brass, timpani and percussion, piano, and strings), with orchestration that favors clear textures and warm solo lines—qualities well suited to the piece’s intimate, romantic mood.
ypical performances last approximately 11–12 minutes; the three short movements contrast a lyrical opening, a poised slow middle section, and a brighter closing vignette of florid melody and rhythmic charm. The Suite d’Amour is representative of Gade’s post-Jalousie output: elegant, immediately appealing orchestral miniatures intended for concert programming and recording.
