Despite his having moved to the United States with his family when he was 11 years old Robert Nathaniel Dett (1882-1943) was born in Canada where glimpses of his talent had already begun to manifest themselves at an early age. Among Dett's earliest titles was his Characteristic March Two-Step After the Cakewalk. Perhaps written when Dett was just a teenager this current edition is wholly based upon its original 1901 band publication that was arranged by Lee Orean Smith. Smith was also responsible for preparing Dett's piano solo version for publication as well as its form for theatre orchestra and mandolin club. Owing to the fact that Smith's highly idiomatic scoring wasprepared for a band of that period this edition adapts edits and extends Smith's instrumentation in order to make it possible for Dett's music to become available to a new generation of musicians and listeners alike.

Claude Debussy Children's Corner orchestrated by Hans Abrahamsen (2011). Dedicated with affection to Amalie Malling and Michael Schønwandt. I Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum II Jimbo’s Lullaby III Serenade of the Doll IV The Snow is Dancing V The little Shepherd VI Golliwogg’s Cake Walk The orchestration by Hans Abrahamsen of Children’s Corner by Claude Debussy was commissioned by Radio KamerFilharmonie to celebrate Debusy at 150 in 2012. Arranged in 2011 it was then premiered by the Radio KamerFilharmonie conducted by Michael Schønwandt in Utrecht in February2012. Debussy’s six movement work for piano has been cherished the world over for its whimsical charm and the way in which they are evocative of childhood. Abrahamsen expands on these traits in his orchestration of the six little masterpieces; be it the mystical heaviness of Jimbo’s Lullaby the icy pirouettes in The Snow is Dancing or the buoyant ending: Golliwogg’s Cakewalk

This excellent arrangement for young band captures all the musical intent of Debussy’s original while being extremely accessible to young bands. Andrew Balent has edited the piece so that it remains largely intact yet holds student and audience interest throughout. A great choice for a light concert piece that also happens to be a classic.
