Danses Sacree et Profane for Harp and String Orchestra?

Yes! Congratulations Shap!

Sorry, Navneeth. I could tell you were close to answering, you were just simply beaten to the punch by Mr. Shap.

I like this piece by DeBussy. It is a beautiful piece, that doesn't get as much attention it deserves, compared to Prelude d'un apres-midi d'un faune, or Suite Bergamesque (Clair de lune) or Reveries.

The floor is yours Shapley!

[Shapley]

Darn it!

Now I have to my mental muscles and come with a piece.

I'll be away from the computer this afternoon, so it may be a while before I can get back with answers. Plus, I have to research them in order to be correct.

I will be doing that!

[Shapley]

I'll do the same. Multiple requests for the same piece sometimes get quicker action!

Nav really narrowed it down to one possible piece...

it's a very good piece easily superior to Suite Bergamasque and Reverie. I wouldn't list Suite Bergamasque and Reverie on the same level as Prelude to afternoon of Faun. but, yes, they're very popular.

However, Shap did come up with the harp clue.

I was fortunate to have heard 'Prelude to afternoon of a Faun' in a Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra event last year, along with a Khachaturian Violin Concerto and Beethoven's 7th Symphony.

Prelude to afternoon of a Faun is one of my favs!

[bignaf]

mine too!

[Catmando]

I shouldn't forget La Mer That is another one of my favorite DeBussy pieces.

[bignaf]

my favorite! and Nocturnes! and Images for piano, and Preludes!
