Claude Debussy

Nocturnes for Orchestra

Described by the composer as a 'study in gray painting, ' this three-movement work exemplifies the aural impressionism synonymous with Debussy's name. Shaded by his unique orchestral palette, three evocative scenes include the summer love of 'Nuages, ' the celebration of 'Fétes, ' and the seduction of the 'Sirèns. '
The work is reproduced here from an authoritative edition, complete with bar-numbered movements for easy reference. Ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall, this affordable miniature-score edition offers music lovers, performers, and students an opportunity to appreciate the splendor of Debussy's art.
