The Girl With The Flaxen Hair is of Claude Debussys most popular piano works. It has been said that this piece, with its impressionistic and progressive harmonies, may have been a significant influence for many jazz artists of the 20th century. A more chamber sound can be created by reducing the players to one-to-a-part in most of this arrangement. This would allow the opportunity to feature several soloists in the band and introduce the players to a wind ensemble sound. |
