I discribe it as a strange jolly Nocturne, but still interesting to listen to.

  • Well, technically it's still right because that's what 'Fêtes' translates to in English, so it's really a matter of preference.

    In other news, thanks for posting this! =D

  • @krahwful Isn't it obvious?

    It's because Debussy had 3 penises!! As a matter of fact, his nickname was Tri-pussy, which turned out to be a misnomer, as it were.

  • @shoshka92 why are there three dicks following eachother in your comment?

  • @Dizzylizzy201 Principal composers of nocturnes

    John Field: 18 for solo piano

    Frédéric Chopin: 21 for solo piano - Nocturnes (Chopin)

    Robert Schumann: 4 Nachtstücke

    Franz Liszt: 1 for solo piano entitled En reve ("In a dream" or "While dreaming")

    Ignace Leybach: now known only for his "Fifth Nocturne"

    Gabriel Fauré: 13 for solo piano

    Claude Debussy: 3 for orchestra and choir, one for solo piano

  • Some nocturne! Wild stuff. MY favorite part is the parade part starts at 2:45 sounds like a parade arriving from the distance, is right in front of you...and then fades into the distance. What amazing dynamics. Great genius.

  • the term "nocturnes" was used by Debussy because he based this piece and its individual movements on a series of paintings by a symbolist painter. These pieces are not "nocturnes" in the sense of form or style at all...

  • @hetna26 Well you clearly have no taste in music.

  • `What orchestra?  They do a nice job - they deserve a little recognition!

  • In response to uploader's comments on the jolly nocturne:

    The title Nocturnes is to be interpreted here in a general and, more particularly, ina decorative sense. Therefore it is not meant to designate the usual form of the nocturne ... ... Fetes gives us the vibrating atmosphere with sudden flashes of light. (quoted: Lockspeiser 189, what Debussy himself wrote about his nocturnes)

    Also, Fetes translates to festival in english. Thus, the jolliness. ;D

  • i love this piece... which orchestra plays this?
