Program Notes
In a French Garden is an impressionistic composition fashioned in the style of a Debussy piano prelude. Full of legato passages and contemporary harmonies, this work provides a unique opportunity for young bands to learn about this mysterious and wonderful style of music. In a French Garden contains a rich palette of colors.
