(Footsteps in the Snow)
by Claude Debussy – arranged for wind orchestra by Robert Lennon
A masterpiece of restraint and atmosphere, this haunting prelude becomes a stark winter landscape in its wind orchestra form. Muted brass and icy high woodwinds sketch out a sound world of silence, distance, and slow, deliberate movement — footsteps heard, then lost, in the snow.
Perfect for developing ensemble sensitivity and control, this arrangement invites players and audiences alike into Debussy’s most intimate emotional terrain.
“Beautifully icy.” (YouTube viewer).
