About this item
Debussy's Suite Bergamasque was written for piano. The four movements are 1. Prelude, 2. Menuet, 3. Clair de Lune + 4, Passepied. This orchestration by Peter Lawson aims to provide an orchestral version of this well-loved work in a style that the composer himself might have written. As "Clair de Lune" is by far the best known piece in the Suite and often played on its own, this has been published separately and GMCL119 includes the other three movements.

Composer
Claude Debussy (1862-1918)
Claude-Achille Debussy (22 August 1862 – 25 March 1918) was a French composer. Along with Maurice Ravel, he was one of the most prominent figures working within the field of impressionist music, though he himself intensely disliked the term when applied to his compositions.[3] Debussy is among the most important of all French composers, and a central figure in European music of the turn of the 20th century. He was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1903.
His music is noted for its sensory component and for not often forming around one key or pitch. Often Debussy's work reflected the activities or turbulence in his own life. His music virtually defines the transition from late-Romantic music to 20th century modernist music. In French literary circles, the style of this period was known as symbolism, a movement that directly inspired Debussy both as a composer and as an active cultural participant.
