Product Description

4 Piano Preludes from Bk.1:
  
II. "Voiles",

VI. Des pas sur la neige,
  
VIII.La fille aux cheveux de lin,

 XII. Minstrels: arr.wind quintet.

 "Voiles" is a composition by Claude Debussy for solo piano from 1909. It is the second piece in a set of twelve préludes published in 1910. The title of the piece may be translated to English as either veils or sails; both meanings can be connected to the musical structure. Except for some mild, localized chromaticism and a short pentatonic passage, the entire piece uses the whole tone scale. I have taken some liberties with the arpeggios in the 2nd half of the piece and also ignored the grace notes. For something different, try this piece. (Treat the tempo as 4/8 rather than 2/4 i.e. count it in 4. Well worth the challenge!

VI. Des pas sur la neige (Footprints in the snow): very atmospheric wintry feel!

VIII.La fille aux cheveux de lin (The Girl with the flaxen hair)One of Debussys most popular and well known pieces: ideal for that quiet wedding moment.

 XII. Minstrels: almost a ragtime feel.
