ABOUT THE PIECE:
The original piano composition of Arabesque was completed by Debussy in 1881 in a set of two, this being the first. In regards to the title and character of the collection, Grove Music Dictionary offers this insight:
To the Romantics the concept of the arabesque was particularly attractive in the light of the idea, first popularized by F.W.J. Schelling (1802) and by Goethe, of architecture as ‘frozen music’. The term was used for piano pieces by Stephen Heller (op.49) and Schumann, whose op.18 is in the form of a rondo with recurring episodes, which are in marked contrast to the main theme. Gade’s op.27 is similarly entitled, but the most typical examples of the form are Debussy’s Deux arabesques (1888–91), whose charm and delicacy reflect perfectly the conception of the arabesque as a piece in which the composer aims at a decorative rather than emotional effect. (Grove)
This marimba transcription came to be in part of my vision of music to be a completely fluid non-human construct - part of the ever forward-moving nature of music being that previous compositions can be adapted for newly discovered/developed instruments or performing techniques. I also hope to assist in the continuous process of looking for new ways to express styles, characters and musical time periods on percussion instruments - in this case, the marimba, likely the most closely related of our instruments to the other families.
