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 landscapeOn which masks and Bergamasques cast enchantment as they go,Playing the lute, and dancing, and all butSad beneath their fantasy-disguises.Singing all the while, in the minor mode,Of all-conquering love and life so kind to themThey 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.Level 3-41 Piccolo2 Flutes2 Oboes1 Cor Anglais2 Bassoons3 B-flat Clarinets1 B-flat Bass Clarinet2 Alto Saxophone in E-flat1 Tenor Saxophone in B-flat1 Baritone Saxophone in E-flat4 Horns in F2 Trumpets in B-flat2 Trombones1 Euphonium1 Tuba1 ContrabassPianoTimpaniGlockenspiel2 MarimbaVibraphoneAuxillary Percussion (Bass drum, suspended cymbal, and tam-tam).
