Product Description
Claude
Debussy's famous Clair de lune is the third piece of the Suite bergamasque for
piano. The Suite, originally composed in 1890 but revised between then and its
publication in 1905, is the first real flowering of Debussy's genius for piano
music. Its name comes from Verlaine's poem "Clair de lune",
which means "moonlight" in French. It is written
in 9/8 meter, marked andante
très expressif, and to be played mostly pianissimo.
This
arrangement for 8 woodwinds, glockenspiel, vibraphone, xylophone and harp (or
piano) aims to bring out the dreamy, serene and mildly Impressionistic
characteristic of the original work by exploring the vibrant musical colours of
this unusual combination of instruments.
