It seems that Debussy originally intended the orchestral Images as a third set under that title, for two pianos. He had published a first set of Images for piano in 1905, followed in 1907 by a second series.
Gigues, of the orchestral Images, was the last to be written; it was composed during the years 1909 to 1912 and first performed and published the following year. Ibéria was written in the years 1906 to 1908 and first performed and published in 1910, and Rondes de printemps was composed in 1908 and 1909 and first performed and published in 1910. The whole work is scored for a large orchestra, used by Debussy with his usual sensitivity and care for delicate nuances of orchestral colour. Gigues, originally and aptly known as ‘Gigues tristes’, suggests England, or more properly North Britain. The jig theme, with its echoes of the Northumbrian The Keel Row, introduces the dance gradually, as it takes shape with the entry of the oboe d’amore. Melancholy seems for a moment to be dismissed, but the dance eventually dies down to a murmur.
Ibéria immediately proclaims Spain in its opening section, ‘Par les rues et par les chemins’, with the rhythm of the castanets. To the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla Ibéria seemed to embody Spanish music, to be something much more than a mere character piece. ‘Les parfums de la nuit’, marked ‘Lent et rêveur’, gently evokes the scents of the night, perfumes of the gardens of Spain; and ‘Le matin d’un jour de fête’, marked ‘Dans un rythme de Marche lointaine, alerte et joyeuse’, which follows without a break, brings the world alive again. Spanish dance rhythms are heard, as are characteristic snatches of melody with the sound of a bell, as the holiday approaches.
Rondes de printemps offers a picture of France. Dedicated to Debussy’s wife, it is headed by words from the Tuscan La maggiolata: ‘Vive le Mai, bienvenu soit le Mai / Avec son gonfalon sauvage’ (Long live May, welcome to May / With its wild banner). A snatch of the traditional song Do, do l’enfant, do is heard from the oboe, but it is the song Nous n’irons plus aux bois (We shall no more to the woods), which Debussy had used before in La belle au bois dormant and in Jardins sous la pluie from Estampes, that has a more important part to play in the unfolding texture. The initial reception of Images was mixed, with coolness or hostility from some critics but praise from musicians such as Ravel and Falla. The public had apparently expected a successor to La mer, but Images was something rather different: three pictures in what seemed to contemporaries a new style.
3:59 Giant Steps
Crazy!!!
For a moment I thought I was crazy and hearing Giant Steps everywhere. Glad I'm not hallucinating
24:22 how I love these bells!
Je l'aime beaucoup!
This kind of music requires serious attention. but once it is paid, you are rewarded with a very powerful tool for self actualization.

@@CardinalTetra lol, I must have been wicked stoned when I wrote this. Still agree with it though
Thank you for score !!!
Incroyable!
Magnifique!
No performance is as interesting and intriguing and captivating as this paramount performance
I don't know if Debussy ever went in the United Kingdom or in Spain but he was having a real sympathy for these countries.
Apparently Debussy only went to Spain once on a day trip, so that he managed to conjure up such authentic Spanish feeling is a mystery to me. however, he did go to London to conduct some of his orchestral works, so he may have become familiar with some of the folk music there, which is not surprising considering the British folk music revival was in full swing there.
@@anotherplanetuk2 I heard that his friend sent him a letter from Spain and when Debussy saw a postmark he got the inspiration however he lived in Eastbourne in England for some time and it was there where he finished his masterpiece La Mer. Sorry if my English isn't correct.
Who wouldn't, they're pathetic.
and a real germanophobia...
France doesn't have a strong folk music tradition so French composers like Debussy and Ravel really looked to Spanish folk music for inspiration.
this is great!
I like the first one

Tourette’s Guy: ( shuts his alarm clock off, gets his glasses on, looked at the m&m) WHAT THE FUCK!
You ASS!!!
Toujours aussi moderne.
24:02 this sounds like Debussy's prelude book 1 no. 9
I love 25:20
10:07 sounds alike 'Le Sacre du Printemps'
Indeed I noticed many echoes of the Rite, or so I thought! Turns out that this was all written before Le Sacre du Printemps! I wonder if Stravinsky ever saw the score the two of them were friends I believe.
@@alexscott1257 As far as I know Stravinsky knew Debussy's music, but I don't think they knew each other (I don't know it anyway)
@@raulespejo2587 eu vi uma foto dos dois juntos
@@Mr-Prasguerman such a small world

'O, weel may the keel row,
The keel row, the keel row,
O weel may the keel row
That my laddie's in.'
With all the music of Debussy you can create a country of imaginary landscapes.
I like to imagine that Debussy's a close friend of mine who takes me to all these new places and we're discovering them for the first time
More like whole worlds

There is no point in posting long classical pieces on YT, because the ads between each movement ruin the experience.

not bad.... i admit it would take me a month to come up with something this good
Wow! You must be quite the prodigy!
You must be a troll right... Do you even know who Debussy was?

At least. I’m no Claude Monet but at least I’m not dead, dead people smell funny.
How can I be bored with my favourite composer.His orchestral works are kinda lame idk
you must be deaf
please for the sake of the world, never comment on any Debussy video again, thank you
just listen to 'Images' repeatedly and you might grow to appreciate. A piece like this ,or Jeux is much more challenging than Arabesque 1 or Suite Bergamasque.
