Program Notes: Menuet for Wind Ensemble was originally a piano piece by Claude Debussy, the second movement of the Suite Bergamasque (which also contains the famous Clair de lune) which was composed around 1890. I adored this entire set as a student and always could “hear� orchestral instruments in spots of the second movement as I would play it. So while I was taking an orchestration class as an undergraduate and was assigned to choose a piano piece and orchestrate (or, actually, band-strate) it, I chose this piece. Several years later, I revisited my arrangement, revised and improved it into the present version.
