Clair de Lune, from Suite bergamasque by Debussy

Clair de Lune, from Suite bergamasque by Debussy

$13.50

An advanced string quartet arrangement of "Clair De Lune" suitable for anything from a Bridal Entrance to a chamber music festival. To take advantage of the instruments' natural resonance, the piece has been transposed from D-flat to C Major. Careful attention has been given to each of Debussy's musical gestures, but each instrument has been treated idiomatically, so that while the parts may be a challenge, they make far better sense "under the fingers" than a naive transcription from piano. All parts have been laid out so that no page-turns are necessary.

This piece is great if your quartet is reasonably advanced, but still enjoys a challenge. A successful performance may involve a bit of practice, but the reward of surprisingly beautiful music is worth it!

Printable PDF includes parts and a small size reference score. All are designed for 8.5 x 11 paper. Blank sheets have been added so that if the file is printed double-sided on 8.5 x 11 with no additional configuration, the parts and score will be separated (for example, the back side of the viola part's last page won't have the cello's first page on it).
