A bouquet of melodies

Bouquet of Peonies on a Musical Score

You select the finest flowers for a bouquet. Likewise, a composer selects the finest music for a suite. But while a bouquet of flowers fades eventually, the suite is everlasting.

Suite is a French word indicating 'sequence'.

Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky had composed a ballet called 'The Nutcracker'. The ballet was not a success, but Tchaikovsky extracted a twenty minute suite that is immensely popular and loved.
