| Video Discription | Danse sacrée et danse profane, L. 103, for harp and strings (1904) I. Danse sacrée [0:00] II. Danse profane [5:13] A piece for harp and string orchestra by French composer Claude Debussy (1862-1918). In 1904, the Parisian instrument manufacturing company Pleyel approached Debussy with a commission for a piece to showcase the newly invented chromatic harp, which Pleyel had patented in 1897. Unlike the older pedal harp that was tuned to the notes of the diatonic major scale and had seven foot pedals for chromatic changes, the new harp had no pedals; instead, strings were added for each missing note in the chromatic scale. Accordingly, Debussy composed this set of two contrasting dances for the chromatic harp and string orchestra. The work soon entered the repertory of the conventional harp, and the unwieldy chromatic harp was abandoned. The commission of the Danses also prompted the rival instrument manufacturer Érard to commission Maurice Ravel for a piece to showcase the capabilities of its double-action pedal harp. That work, the Introduction and Allegro of 1905, can be found on my channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBm1w8J63mg Harp: Ann Mason Stockton Conductor: Felix Slatkin Concert Arts String Ensemble |
