By Masakazu YAMAMOTO. By Claude Debussy. Arranged by Masakazu YAMAMOTO. 20th Century,Classical,Contest,Festival,Film/TV,Pop. 94 pages. Motch Music #694198. Published by Motch Music (A0.1090005).

Arrangement for concert band.

This is the 12th song from "Preludes" 2nd book, which is Debussy's mature piano music. It is a depiction of the Paris Festival (Revolutionary Day) on July 14. 

Against the background of the first triplet, you can start to see fireworks shining in the distance. After getting closer and closer and launching it bigger, it's dizzying and colorful.It's changing to shine. Fanfare-style motifs that appear on the way are deployed in various ways, and they are magnificently reproduced at the climax at the end.
And the French national anthem "La Marseès" concludes the song with a reverberation in the aftertaste.

The whole scale and the tonic sound are skillfully combined, and the original song is very pianistic.
I want to switch the tone and tempo firmly for each scene, and try to play crisp and colorful performances. 

Commissioned by conductor Keiko Kobayashi, and the Sony Concert Band. Premiered on July 2, 2022.

Playing time: about 5'00"
