Description:
Debussy's Séguidille, based on a poem by Théophile Gautier is a remarkable composition. Comprising 218 measures, it is the longest song ever written by Debussy. It is also one of the flashiest. Created for his muse, Madame Marie Vasnier, Séguidille features vocal pyrotechnics such as trills and coloratura runs that end ona high c#6. As one of Debussy's first explorations of the evocative rhythms and colors of Spain, this song may be viewed as his personal response to Bizet's Carmen.
