Farandole

The farandole is an open-chain community dance popular in Provence, France. It bears similarities to the gavotte, jig, and tarantella (Wikipedia).

Georges Bizet composed L'Arlésienne as incidental music to Alphonse Daudet's play of the same name, usually translated as The Girl from Arles. It was first performed on 1 October 1872 at the Vaudeville Theatre. The opus consists of 27 numbers (some only a few bars) for voice, chorus, and small orchestra, of which the farandole is the finale.
