16-part brass ensemble - advanced
SKU: CY.CC2596
Composed by Claude Debussy. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. French Impressionist. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2596).
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.
