Claude Debussy : Clarinet Album

The range of tonal colour that can be produced by the clarinet made it eminently suitable for Debussy's impressionistic compositions and it featured greatly in his orchestral works. Only a few works however for the solo instrument were composed. James Rae presents some of Debussy's most popular concert pieces in these arrangements for clarinet and piano. Clarinettists will now have the pleasure of bringing to life for example: the Ragtime flair of 'Le petit nègre' the beauty of 'La plus que lente' and the clumsiness of the little elephant in 'Jimbo's Lullaby'.

Claude Debussy (1862-1918) was a French composer who is often associated with the early Impressionist movement. He is best known for his evocative Piano compositions from which these Two Pieces For ClarinetAnd Piano have been transcribed. The Golliwog’s Cakewalk is taken from a suite of works inspired by Debussy’s daughter and her toys. The cakewalk was a popular dance in the 1890’s and 1900’s andis reflected in the syncopated ragtime style.The Girl With Flaxen Hair is taken from Debussy’s first book of preludes. Its title character is inspired by a poem about a Scottish maiden who is supposed tosymbolise tranquillity and simplicity aspects which are reflected in both the melody and harmony.
