Product Description
Arrangement for concert band.
This is the third song of Suite Bergamasque" composed by Claude Debussy around 1890. Written in the style of nocturne, it is one of the most famous songs in Debussy's work. And also it is often featured as a repertoire among classical pianos as a whole.
In this arrangement, while respecting the original song, bold reharmonization (change of chord) is applied.
And further, an opening section as fade-in effect and an ending section extending the aftertaste time are added. All of them are used for creating new attractive of this song.
And, I am also inspired by the title A sentimental promenade" which had been named at the time of publication in 1900-1901. There are many weak sounds throughout this song, but each phrase requires a rich expression centered on romanticism.
At the same time, it is also important for the phrase to be passed down smoothly, and especially in the middle part, a flowing propulsion is required. I hope that those elements will be organically linked to the harmony taste, which is the key to this arrangement.
Commissioned by conductor Keiko Kobayashi, and the Sony Concert Band. Premiered on July 2, 2022.
