A piece consisting of set of
dances is called a suite. In Western classical music and jazz, is
an ordered set of instrumental or orchestral/concert band pieces. It originated
in the late 14th century as a combination of dance tunes and grew in possibility
to comprise up to five dances, sometimes with a prelude, by the early 17th
century. The French word “suite” means “an arrangement” of things.
In the 17th century many composers such as Bach and Handel wrote suites.
