<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Written during the years 1905 to 1912, this evocative orchestral triptych features <i>Ibéria, </i> scored with Spanish castanets and tambourines; <i>Gigues, </i> a moody tribute to England; and <i>Rondes de printemps, </i> a celebration of spring in the French countryside.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"I am more and more convinced that music is not, in essence, a thing which can be cast into a traditional fixed form," observed Claude Debussy, adding, "it is made up of colors and rhythms." Although the composer disliked the label of Impressionism, his works shared many characteristics with those of his artistic contemporaries. Debussy developed a unique musical language, redefined concepts of harmony and form, and exercised a delicate command of nuance, in his piano music as well as his orchestral creations.<br>Imagery was such a vital component of Debussy's approach that he titled several of his works "Images," including this magnificent orchestral triptych. Written over a period extending from 1905 to 1912, these loosely related movements express the national characters of England, Spain, and France. The biggest, <i>Ibéria, </i> is itself a triptych--a medley of Spanish allusions, scored with castanets, flashing tambourines, and bells. It is accompanied by <i>Gigues, </i> a moody tribute to England, and <i>Rondes de printemps, </i> a lively celebration of spring in the French countryside.
