Claude Debussy's Clair de Lune

Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE / SANTOS YAGO. Written in standard notation and tablature, nearly all the pieces in The Music of Debussy for Solo Guitar were transcribed from piano scores. The book?s repertoire represents different periods in the composer?s life and compositional style, from the legendary ?Clair de Lune? to the ?Arabesque No. 1? and some of his most famous preludes, including ?La fille aux cheveux de lin?.Achille-Claude Debussy (1862 ? 1918) developed a highly original system of harmony and musical structure that expressed the ideals of the impressionist and symbolist painters and writers of his time. Oddly enough, Debussy rejected both the term ?Impressionism? and the theoretical approach to music, declaring, ?There is no theory. You merely have to listen. Pleasure is the law.?Author, Yago Santos writes:For me, Debussy represents the most exciting period in the history of music. He accomplished something that happens very rarely, and not in every lifetime; he brought a new kind of beauty into the world. I find it incredible that he never composed a piece for the guitar; that is why I decided to arrange this collection of some of his most famous pieces / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Recueil / Guitare

Fred Bock's classic piano solo setting that combined Debussy's Claire de Lune and Jesus Loves Me has been a best-seller for over 30 years. This new choral setting retains the original beauty while adding voices. Creative and inspired!

Par . Beginning pianists of all ages will cherish this excellent compilation of classics. Each piece was carefully selected and simplified to help students develop their skills. Many of the greatest composers ? J. S. Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, and others ? are represented by several pieces each, some newly adapted for the piano. Composers and works not usually featured in beginner\'s books include pieces by Borodin, Gluck, Rameau, and Tallis. Well-known classics include Bach\'s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, Debussy\'s Claire de Lune, Moussorgsky\'s Pictures at an Exhibition, Satie\'s Gymnopedie No. 1, Schumann\'s Child Falling Asleep, and \'Spring\' from Vivaldi\'s Four Seasons. Several orchestral pieces have been newly adapted for the piano, including \'Dance of the Swan\' from Swan Lake, \'Elephant\' from Carnival of the Animals, \'Largo\' from Xerxes, and \'Waltz of the Flowers\' from The Nutcracker. / Date parution : 2022-11-12/ Recueil / Piano

A rich selection of Thirty-six of Debussy's best songs including 'Beau Soir' 'Mandoline' 'Les Angelus' and 'Dans Le Jardin'.

Here in one volume are two bodies of work that reveal the essence of Debussy's extraordinary expressiveness and his innovative gifts for musical imagery. Includes 'La Cathedrale engloutie' 'Ondine' and 'La fille aux cheveux de lin'.

The Suite Bergamasque is one of the most famous Piano suites by Claude Debussy. Debussy wrote the first version of it in 1890 but the final version wasn?t finished or published until 1905.The suite recalls rococo decorousness with a modern cynicism and puzzlement and contains one of Debussy's most popular pieces Clair de Lune (ca. 6.40 minutes). The other three movements are: Prelude(ca. 6 minutes) Menuet (ca. 5.15 minutes) and Passepied (ca. 5.30 minutes).Every movement in the suite reflects Debussy?s non-traditional ?impressionist? style largely influenced by symbolism.According to the traditional belief Suite Bergamasque is a basic reflection of end of the century French symbolist poet Paul Verlaine?s Fêtes galantes (Gallant parties).This Urtext edition takes theoriginal edition as its basis and the comments at the end of it provide detailed information on the sources and alternative readings. A preface by François Lesure is also included.Just as most other Piano works ofDebussy Suite Bergamasque is a challenging but rewarding piece. Movements may be played separately or together.

Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE / LOUVIER ALAIN (Arr.). Pour l'adorateur de Debussy que je suis depuis la plus rendre enfance, toucher à ces merveilles que sont les Préludes de Claude Debussy fut un cas de conscience. Le séduisant quatuor avec flûte, avec son trio à cordes, permet à un orchestrateur de métier d'infin ies nuances et dégradés : quatre instruments virtuoses, souvent polyphoniques, aux nombreuses irisations de timbre... Cependant, nous n'avons aucun modèle chez Debussy lui-même d'un tel travail, sinon son Quatuor à cordes (très antérieur) et sa Sonate pour flûte, alto et... harpe ! Sans ajouter une harpe (qui possède l'étendue du piano), impossible d'imaginer La Cathédrale Engloutie ou La Terrasse des audiences du clair de lune ... les résonances graves du piano, si poétiques, quasi magiques, ne pourraient être traduites par quatre instruments non résonants. J'ai donc dû choisir peu de Préludes, ne voulant pas trahir Debussy. Après une écoute intérieure très exigeante, et en me permettant, à la rigueur, quelques brèves octaviations de l'extrême-grave du piano, je me suis limité à six, trois dans chaque livre: 1er livre : - Des Pas sur la neige (n° 6) - La Sérénade interrompue (n° 9) - Minstrels (n° 12) 2e livre: - Bruyères (n°5) - Hommage à Sir Pickwick PPMPC (n° 9) - Canope (n° 10) Très vite, j'ai compris que partir du son-piano était une erreur; il valait mieux imaginer le Debussy des années 1910 orchestrant ces pièces pour une grande formation (du type Ibéria ou Jeux), puis réduire pour un petit orchestre de quatre instruments. D'où l'emploi de batteries (même à la flûte), de trémolos, de doublures étranges pour simuler les timbres absents, créer des illusions de polyphonie, si prisées des orchestrateurs français. J'espère n'en avoir pas abusé; j'ai essayé de mettre dans ces transcriptions toute l'imagination - tous les sons improbables - que Debussy aurait lui-même recherchés.
