Dedicated to Benjamin Godard, Suite d’Orchestre was originally composed as an orchestral work and later transcribed by Chaminade for piano four hands. The duet version was published by Grus in 1881 as a set of four pieces consisting of (1) Marche (L.G. 3639), (2) Intermezzo (L.G. 3640), (3) Scherzo (L.G. 3641), and (4) Choral (L.G. 3642).

In 1892, Grus published two piano solo arrangements from the suite under the collective title Deux Extraits de la 1re Suite d’Orchestre: No. 1, Scherzo (L.G. 4611), and No. 2, Intermezzo (L.G. 4612).

In 1907, Hachette republished each of the four piano four-hand movements individually under new titles:

1. Marche-Impromptu (Marche) — Hachette plate 1573.
2. Pas des Sylphes (Intermezzo) — Hachette plate 1580
3. Colombine (Scherzo) — Hachette plate 1574
4. Les Noces d’or (Choral) — Hachette plate 1677

Marche-Impromptu (Marche): Transcribed to solo piano by Albert Landry in 1908 plate 1563.
