Condition: Good. It may be in fact that I have taken on a task that is too much for me: there is no precedent, so I am obliged to invent new forms. -- Claude Debussy.Unquestionably one of the most influential of modern composers, Claude Debussy (1862-1918) overturned traditional concepts of form, harmony, and coloring in creating a body of music characterized by innovation, individuality of style, and perfection of workmanship.Among his most popular, most performed, most recorded works are the three compositions reprinted in this volume: the revolutionary Pr lude l'apr s-midi d'une faune, which, in a sense, awakened modern music; the exquisite Nocturnes, shimmering models of delicate impressionism; and La Mer, complex, suggestive, a masterpiece of orchestral texture.This Dover volume presents the complete scores of all three works -- reproduced from early French editions -- in one convenient source. Musicians and music lovers will appreciate this inexpensive edition of a trio of orchestral favorites: pieces that mark not only key points in the composer's personal progress but also in the progress of modern music as well. …

Condition: Good. Distinguished by its sure and economical craftsmanship, Pelleas et Melisande is Debussy's only opera a perfect marriage of music and verse that ranks as one of the great landmarks in the history of the form, so sublimely does the musical style fit Maeterlinck's allegory of guilt and innocence.In its premiere performance at the Opera-Comique on April 30, 1902, Pelleas et Melisande created an uproar a reaction perhaps to the unique harmonies and advanced orchestration Debussy unveiled in the work. Though initially considered subversive, his harmonic innovations remained rooted in the tonal system, deepening and extending its scope. Today, the opera is universally hailed as the summit of French musical impressionism, a unique poetic conception in which Debussy's powers of orchestral and vocal writing are at their pinnacle.Reprinted in its entirety from the authoritative E. Fromont (1904) edition, this faithful edition reproduces the full orchestral and vocal score in clear, large, legible notation for easy reading and study. A new English translation of the original French front matter further enhances the value and completeness of the volume.…

Condition: Good. The essence of Debussy's musical personality is in the songs and they exhibit virtually every aspect of his art. Oscar Thompson, Debussy: Man and Artist.Had Claude Debussy (1862 1918) been exclusively a composer of songs, his musical reputation would have been assured. Although his output was not large, he achieved a new style in the setting of poetry and poetic prose an exquisite union of words and music characterized by innovation, simplicity, impeccable taste, and consummate workmanship. From such early favorites as Beau Soir and Mandoline his masterful later works, the composer achieved a new psychological penetration through understatement a music precisely imagined yet fluid, superbly constructed yet untrammeled by the past.This Dover volume contains a rich selection of 36 of Debussy's best songs, nearly a quarter century's worth of compositions that embody his exceptional empathy for poetry and his genius for expressing its essence in music. Contents include Beau Soir, Deux romances, Mandoline, Les Angelus, Trois chansons de Bilitis, Dans le jardin, Cinq poemes de Baudelaire, and more. For singers, Debussy's songs offer special pleasure in their simplicity, making the song's message more easily conveyed. For pianists, the music presents interesting and independent melodies that contribute vastly to the atmosphere and expression of the text. For all lovers of art songs, those of Debussy are a brilliant and innovative addition to the genre. This volume, reproduced directly from original sheet music, makes them available at low cost to all devotees.…
