Description
SKU: A0.1323446
Composed by Claude Debussy. Arranged by Clayton Fannin. 20th Century. 76 pages. Clayton Fannin #911617. Published by Clayton Fannin (A0.1323446).The third movement of Suite Bergamasque composed by Debussy around 1890 and published in 1905, the piece was inpired by the 1869 poem of the same name by Paul Verlaine.
Your soul is a chosen landscape
On which masks and Bergamasques cast enchantment as they go,
Playing the lute, and dancing, and all but
Sad beneath their fantasy-disguises.
Singing all the while, in the minor mode,
Of all-conquering love and life so kind to them
They do not seem to believe in their good fortune,
And their song mingles with the moonlight,
With the calm moonlight, sad and lovely,
Which makes the birds dream in the trees,
And the plumes of the fountains weep in ecstasy,
The tall, slender plumes of the fountains among the marble sculptures.
DeBussy's piece captures the tranquility and passionate Romantisism of the poem with one of his most famous works.
The arrangement captures the rich vibrance and expression of the original piano piece while adding new hints of modernism and tone color.
