The
Little Negro was
originally composed by
Claude Debussy
(1862-1918) for piano in
1909. The purpose was to
write a great work that
could also played by
children. Eugène
Bozza made the piece even
more accessible in 1984
by arranging it for wind
quintet. The Little
Negro is marked
Allegro and begins with a
theme modelled on ragtime
music, a style which was
very popular at the time
of composition. Jazz
influences, the C major
key signature, 2/4 meter
and upbeat features make
for an exciting and
accessible piece for all
the ensemble. Bozza's
arrangement of Debussy's
The Little Negro
for a wind quintet made
up of flute, clarinet,
oboe, bassoon and horn is
a thrilling addition to
the repertoire.
