About this item
Claude Debussy wrote two sets of twelve Preludes for solo piano between 1909 and 1913. This, "The girl with the flaxen hair" is from the first set and has become probably the most popular of them all. This version has been orchestrated by Peter Lawson very much in the style of Debussy. There are four other Preludes available in the Goodmusic Concert Classics series orchestrated by Peter Lawson. "La cathedrale engloutie" (GMCL146) is published separately and there is also "Three Preludes" (GMCL142) comprising "Danseuses de Delphes", "La terrasse des audiences du clair de lune" and "General Lavine - eccentric". One or more of these could be performed together to form a longer suite.

Composer
Claude Debussy (1862-1918)
Claude-Achille Debussy (22 August 1862 – 25 March 1918) was a French composer. Along with Maurice Ravel, he was one of the most prominent figures working within the field of impressionist music, though he himself intensely disliked the term when applied to his compositions.[3] Debussy is among the most important of all French composers, and a central figure in European music of the turn of the 20th century. He was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1903.
His music is noted for its sensory component and for not often forming around one key or pitch. Often Debussy's work reflected the activities or turbulence in his own life. His music virtually defines the transition from late-Romantic music to 20th century modernist music. In French literary circles, the style of this period was known as symbolism, a movement that directly inspired Debussy both as a composer and as an active cultural participant.
