Many of the Debussy MIDI files in my collection are subject to copyright as performance recodings but some are in the public domain and they provided some interesting challenges.
I have sustained the commitment to the steel drums here but combined them with several other synthesizers to fit the demands of the piece. Although I was very familiar with Golliwog's Cakewalk the other pieces in the Children's Corner were much less familliar but great fun none the less.
The impressionistic pieces - The Island of Joy and Garden in the Rain both seemed to respond well to a new treatment and continued to evoke the kind of visual imagry so characteristic of Debussy's work.
