Music Set #215 - Debussy - Prelude

["de-bu-SEE"]  [klod dəbysi]
(1862 – 1918)



EARLY WORKS (1884-1900)

Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun 

《牧神的午後前奏曲》(commonly known by its French title Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune [pʁelyd a lapʁɛmidi dœ̃ fon])

A faun (top-half man, bottom-half goat) goes for an adventure in the afternoon: a fantasy.
   
The work is called a prelude because Debussy intended to write a suite of three movements – Prelude, Interlude, and Final Paraphrase – but the latter two were never composed.
