Product Description
Le Gibet is the second movement from Maurice Ravel's "Gaspard de la Nuit".
This is an arrangement by Richard Byrnes for 2 Piccolos, Flute, 3 Oboes, 2 English Horns, 4 Bassoons, & Contrabassoon.
The gibet was a hook (gibbet), usually found near the entrance of a medieval town upon which some law offender would be suspended so as to warn visitors and the inhabitants not to offend. The ostinato throughout serves as a reoccurring focal point, much like the constant swing of the hook in the wind. It's dark, foreboding, and absolutely beautiful.
This will challenge your ensemble to determining how loud pianissimo is.
Please peruse the pages and listen to the recording of the score that is offered in determine whether this arrangement can work for your ensemble.
