Arthur Honegger’s Prélude, Fugue et Postlude (H.71a) is an orchestral suite in three linked sections—Prélude, Fugue and Postlude—arranged in 1948 from material associated with his earlier Amphion sketches. The work is compact and contrapuntal, presenting a terse, technically lucid Prelude, a tightly wrought fugue, and a brief luminous Postlude that closes the sequence.

Scored for standard symphony forces with Honegger’s characteristic lean, rhythmic profile and colourful yet economical orchestration, the piece emphasizes clear contrapuntal lines and crisp rhythmic articulation rather than extended Romantic development. Its neoclassical clarity and formal restraint make it suitable as a concert opener or as an encore-length miniature.
