Description:
A five-movement suite originally written by Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) for solo piano, MIROIRS (“Mirrors”) was written between 1904 and 1905, with each movement dedicated to a fellow member of the French avant-garde artist group Les Apaches. Ravel later orchestrated both the third movement called “Une barque sur l’océan” (“A Boat on the Ocean” – dedicated to Paul Sordes) and the fourth movement named “Alborada del gracioso” (“The Jester’s Aubade” – dedicated to Michel-Dimitri Calvocoressi) himself. Ernesto Halffter later orchestrated the fifth movement (“La vallée des cloches” – “The Valley of the Bells” – dedicated to Maurice Delage), as did Percy Grainger, while Felix Günther scored movement two (“Oiseaux tristes” – “Sad Birds” – dedicated to Ricardo Viñes). Orchestrations of movement one (“Noctuelles” – “Moths” – dedicated to Léon-Paul Fargue) are more recent. This edition of the composer’s transcription of “Une barque sur l’océan” has been edited by Clinton Nieweg and Nancy Bradburd.
