Debussy-Suite Bergamasque arr. PercuDuo (SP)-V/M

Claude Debussy, with his impressionist music, offers colours that are finely reproduced by the vibraphone and the marimba. « Suite Bergamasque » is one of his most famous composition. It was published in 1905. The four movements are very contrasted. This piece is a real journey, going from joy in the Prelude to an humoristic Menuet, finishing on a Passepied also funny, without relationship with the dance as named.
The most known movement is the « Clair de Lune » written in 1890, very expressive, masterwork of tenderness and sweetness. This piece is really characteristic of the impressionist movement in arts that took place in France at this period.
