Product Description

Debussy's Trois Chansons de Bilitis was one of the works we studied in a seminar taught by Professor Earl Kim when I was a graduate student at Harvard University, 1977 to 1981.

I then recently discovered that Debussy took twelve of the 158 poems from Pierre Louÿs' "Les Chansons de Bilitis" and wrote "Musique de scéne pour les chansons de bilitis.' The texts in this version is not sung but recited by a narrator accompanied by two flutes, two harps and celesta. I immediately thought wouldn't it be cool if I took the same texts and set them to music for soprano and piano. That is exactly what I did ...
