24 Préludes (Books I & II)
Claude Debussy - Bruyères, No.5 from Preludes, Book 2
Bruyères (Heather) is the 'sister' prelude of The Girl With the Flaxen Hair from Debussy’s first book of Preludes. Both pieces are highly accessible for audiences; some might even describe them as 'easy listening'. A pastoral character is apparent from the outset in each, using mostly diatonic elements.
