Des pas sur la neige is a musical composition by French composer Claude Debussy. It is the sixth piece in the composer's first book of Preludes, written between late 1909 and early 1910. The title is in French and translates to "Footprints in the Snow"
.
The piece is one of four Debussy preludes in book # 1.
Thought to be inspired by the hugely popular French impressionist painting , called Snow at Louveciennes,
Debussy's inspiration from Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky is evident in this piece through his utilization of a "block-like dissonant chord" just before the middle part of the piece
My own personal touches on this piece, included extended chord progression and formation with small variants on melody and counter melodies, Also, more importantly, the expression of the performers interpretation as well as my own for the creation and musically paint a magical snow scene.
Arranged and scored for piccolo, 6 flutes in c, alto flute in g, bass flute , opt. contra bass flute and / or optional cello.
Perfect for large and small ensembles. Perfect for winter concerts, prelude services, recitals, concerts.
I thought this impressionist piece, much like the the famous french paintings are a perfect pairing for winter, snow days, and environmental effects . Obviously, this is a professional arrangement, and super difficult to find on SHeetMusicPLus , compared to so many other simple and basic , cookie-cutter formatted arrangements
This arrangement, however is true professionally arranged and definitely will stand out and shine for you ensemble or choir.
A must for flute choir libraries!!
