La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin
Debussy arr. Mark Hartt-Palmer

This prelude was influenced by a poem of the same title from Leconte de Lisle's "Poèmes antiques". Debussy uses a pentatonic scale to conjour up a Scottish atmosphere. I have attempted to evoke the delicate sonorities of the original piano version by using a chamber-sized orchestra, with the melody woven between woodwind, horn and strings. Duration: 2'15"
Ensemble: chamber orchestra (flute oboe clarinet bassoon horn harp violin viola cello double bass)

If you can't see the score in the panel below, you can get the Sibelius Scorch plug-in here. Created using Sibelius. Remember that the quality of the midi playback is necessarily limited, and that the score here appears more jagged than the printed version.
