Claude Debussy – Cortège (Woodwind Choir)

This is the second movement of Debussy’s "Petite Suite."

A cortège is a processional. In this case imagine hearing it start from a distance and ending very close-by. Debussy's harmonic-melodic palette offers a beautiful depiction of this scene.

This is an arrangement by Richard Byrnes for Piccolo, Flute, 2 Oboes, 3 Clarinets, 3 Bassoons, & Contrabassoon.
