The Suite champêtre, Op. 98b, is a three- movement concert suite for string orchestra written in 1921 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.
Sibelius finished composing the Suite champêtre on 7 February 1922; immediately, he mailed it to the London-based publishing firm Chappell & Co., which in 1921 accepted the three-movement Suite mignonne (Op. 98a, 1921) for two flutes and strings. However, Chappell refused the new suite, and in the end, Sibelius reached an agreement in April with Copenhagen's Edition Wilhelm Hansen. [4]
The Suite champêtre contains three movements, as follows:
