Debussy wrote
this five minute work in
1904 for a production of
King Lear. The music is
in A-B-A form beginning
with a fanfare containing
a combination of open and
complex chords, giving it
an ancient sound. The
middle section is a
relaxed intermezzo called
Lear Asleep which is
followed by a return to
the fanfare.
The
music has been
beautifully scored by
Ralph Sauer for a 16-part
large brass ensemble with
timpani and percussion
and is appropriate for
advanced
performers.
Mr.
Sauer has dedicated this
work to the memory of
Adolf Bud Herseth.
