Claude Debussy Petite Suite for Guitar Trio (with TAB) Lisa Marie Gabriel

Claude Debussy's Petite Suite was composed between 1886 and 1889 after a commission by Durand for piano music for skilled amateurs. It was first performed in 1889 by Debussy and Durand together. The four movements transcribed in this full score are: En Bateau, Cortege, Menuet and Ballet. I have always loved this piece because of its lush melodies, sheer exuberance and timeless quality. It has been transcribed for many orchestral and chamber groups in the past, but I felt it lent itself especially well to guitar trio. I made this arrangement to bring it to a modern generation of skilled amateurs, this time on acoustic guitar. TAB is provided to help with note placement. Individual movements and parts are available via my Score Exchange page (Lisa Marie Gabriel) and back tracks are also for sale on Tradebit (Persimew).
