The long-awaited first volume consists of five ordres (Couperin uses the word ordre rather than suite, implying a suite) and includes a large, double-page decorative table at the end. While this may seem small considering the four volumes and 27 ordres (27 = 3 cubed, which some say is related to Freemasonry), the total number of pieces exceeds 70, surpassing the other volumes in terms of the number of pieces contained in a single ordre (particularly the first and second ordres). With the exception of the fourth ordre, the first half is typically a French suite, with dance pieces filling the gap, and the second half is dominated by titled pieces, many of which are based on dances.

The Apartments present their eighth album, That’s What the Music Is For, made in close collaboration with producer Tim Kevin. Recorded gradually between performances across Mexico City, Sydney, San Francisco, Lisbon, and Marseilles, the songs were built piece by piece in the studio whenever the chance arose. Out of this slow accumulation came an album that traces how past and present constantly exchange places, and how those we’ve lost continue to move through our lives in memory and in song. Peter Milton Walsh describes the record as “a world of smoke, gin, and regrets; of melancholy, brass, and strings. Life as it comes to us, with its share of joy and sorrow.” These compositions carry both intimacy and scale, refinement and rawness, telling stories that stay with the listener long after they end. Walsh is joined by Tim Kevin, Nick Kennedy, Adrian Workman, Natasha Penot, Jeff Crawley, Neysa May Barnett, Pauline Drand, and Xavier Guéant-Mata, whose contributions enrich the luminous atmosphere of the album.
