Debussy-Reverie arr Rice (SP)-B /2V/C/4M (Parts on CD)

Claude Debussy (1862-1918) was one of the most important and influential composers at the turn of the last century. He wrote "what he wanted to hear" and broke many of the then current rules of composition, giving his music a fresh new sound. Due to the colorful, dreamy quality of his musical style he was dubbed an "impressionist" by music critics, much to his dislike.



The definition of reverie is "a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream." The quiet, reflective passages of this beautifully simple work wander about very much as if in a dream. Reverie was originally written for piano solo but is here transcribed for mallet ensemble.



This piece comes with a bound score and a CD ROM that contains the individual parts.
