BURK Claude Debussy "Printemps" Suite Symphonique (Born in St. Germain (Seine-et-Oise), France, August 22, 1862; died in Paris March 25, 1918) Debussy's Printemps, composed in 1887 as a work for orchestra, piano and chorus, appeared in transcription for chorus with piano (four hands) in 1904. It was pub- lished in its final version for orchestra and piano duet (without chorus) in 1913 the one here performed. Printemps in this version was first played by the Societe National e de Musique in Paris, April 18, 1913, when Rhene-Baton conducted. DEBUSSY'S Printemps, composed as a Prix de Rome Envoi, has no connection with an earlier work for chorus with the same title, composed as a Prix de Rome competition piece in 1882, and posthumously published as Salut, Printemps, to distinguish it from the later work. The third Image, Rondes de Printemps, is again an entirely different work. Printemps was Debussy's second Envoi as a Prix de Rome laureate. He went to Rome in January, 1885, but restive about giving three years of his young life to what he considered stagnation in the Villa Medici, he returned to Paris in the spring of 1887. He wrote of the place as "a cos- mopolitan hotel, a private college and a compulsory civilian barracks . the abominable villa." But Debussy was not as unhappy in Rome as he liked to make out. He had congenial friends there to share his enthusiasms, some of them connected with the other arts. Even the conventional musicians (of which there were also plenty in Paris) were useful as an irritant the Hammond organ brings out your hidden musical talents You'll be amazed when you find out how easy it is to play a Hammond Organ.
