Claude Debussy - Passepied (orchestral version)

[painco94]

i think piano version is much better, as the piece was originally written for piano and on piano it sounds more... well, not so flat as the orchestral version I think. It's sweeter on piano. however, it's my opinion

[reev9759]

Who was the arranger/orchestrater?

[thinkpad20]

*little _too_

[thinkpad20]

I like the orchestration a lot but I'm not sure I like this conductor's interpretation of it. It's a little to pulsing; I would prefer it to be more fluid and flowing. Very nice though.

Castlevania using this = win

[ppgppgppgppg]

Ravel disliked.

[Shaldezar]

Anyone else here because of Castlevania?



[rosettes28]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing :).

[goshbeergosh]

which orchestra performed this?

[tmmvds]

@goshbeergosh San Francisco Ballet Orchestra with conductor Emil de Cou.

@Melambdalguq mmm.. don't make conclusions on your own please.

Do you know what the reason is people ask for scores? Most of the time you can guess right, but only most of the time. Get what I mean?

I get you're annoyed, but is this really something important enough for you to get emotional about?

cheers

What is the name of the album? what a colourful tone!

wow this orchestral version of passepied is so beatuiful just as beautiful as the piano solo version so quirky lively kinda sad i remember the first time i heard passepied was the old gameboy game called castlevania II belmon's revenge i never that this piece was used in the game and therefore it became one of my all-time favorite classical pieces

[RaikoShono]

It's funny, but I love the orchestral versions of Debussy's works as much as the piano. But the orchestra is merely a supplement to an already epic work. :3

[Luka56c]

I love it almost as much I love the piano version. But i think that orcehstral version won't ever match the original piano version.

[felipemp93]

If this is so beautiful, I can't imagine of how much beautiful would Clair de Lune be *-*

[AndyDougs]

@felipemp93 then check out the stokowski orchestration of it; its on youtube!

[felipemp93]

@AndyDougs Thanks a lot! That's so beautiful either!

[jazzmunky]

This is amazing! What a quirky melody!

[dfairbanks06]

ehh.... i like the piano version better

[DemonHeart85]

If you didn't know, a game boy game entitled, "Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge" used this music. The game simply looped the first 28 seconds of this song.

[omgzorzlikewow]

Wow!! You are definitely right, tmmvds; this version brings much more life and character to the piece! Any chance you know where I could get a score? This is amazing!

[tmmvds]

@omgzorzlikewow Thanks for compliments! I really don't know the score for this arrangement. It's so rare, that propably it's quite hard to find.

[Konzert]

@omgzorzlikewow Hi, I tried to track down the score as well. I know most likely it is in the library of San Francisco Opera where this version of performance was premiered.

@omgzorzlikewow oh hey i have the piano arrangement for the entire suite bergamasque :) i can send it to you if you like :)

[OrangeSodaKing]

Beautiful! Do you have the other three movements?

[tmmvds]

@OrangeSodaKing I have now added first two movements from Bergamasque Suite in orchestral versions.

[steuieee]

Thank you for posting this. This is gorgeous! I would love to get my hands on every orchestral arrangement of Debussy's piano pieces. I think every last one of them is just dying to be an orchestral work!

[tmmvds]

I agree! Orchestra adds much more color and "character" to the piece. I have also put orchestral versions here from L'Isle Joyeuse and La Soiree dans Grenade, if you haven't notice already.

[heerogunkenobi]

@tmmvds say do you know what's the name of the orchestra performing the orchestral version of passepied

[tmmvds]

@heerogunkenobi San francisco Ballet Orchestra with conductor Emil de Cou.

[heerogunkenobi]

@tmmvds i see thanks for telling me

[anXVI]

Super duper.
