Debussy-Passepied arr. Frith (SP)-B/V/opt. Cro./X/2-3M

Jason Frith's arrangement of Claude Debussy's Passepied for keyboard percussion sextet captures the elegance of a French courtly dance. Intermediate percussionists will encounter staccato arpeggios, legato melodic lines, and two-against-three polyrhythms. With a run time of 3’30”, this arrangement from the Suite Bergamasque will delight ensemble performers and audiences alike!
