A five-movement suite originally written by Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) for solo piano, MIROIRS (Mirrors) was written between 1904 and 1905, with each movement dedicated to a fellow member of the French avant-garde artist group Les Apaches. Ravel later orchestrated both the third movement called Une barque sur l'océan (A Boat on the Ocean - dedicated to Paul Sordes) and the fourth movement named Alborada del gracioso (The Jester's Aubade - dedicated to Michel-Dimitri Calvocoressi) himself. Ernesto Halffter later orchestrated the fifth movement (La vallée des cloches - The Valley of the Bells - dedicated to Maurice Delage), as did Percy Grainger, while Felix Günther scored movement two (Oiseaux tristes - Sad Birds - dedicated to Ricardo Viñes). Orchestrations of movement one (Noctuelles - Moths - dedicated to Léon-Paul Fargue) are more recent. This edition of the composer's transcription of Alborada del Gracioso has been edited by Clinton Nieweg and Nancy Bradburd. Instrumentation: 3(3rd dPicc).2+EH.2.2+CBsn: 4.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(6): 2Hp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
