Bill Hopkins's orchestration of Debussy's ‘Lindaraja’
View through CrossRef
In spring 1975 the British composer and writer Bill Hopkins completed an orchestration of Debussy's Lindaraja. Paul Griffiths has reported that Hopkins believed this to be ‘the only one of Debussy's piano works which was intended as a sketch of an orchestral composition’. As an expert on both French music and orchestration, Hopkins was admirably qualified for the job. But as we have no written record of his ideas on the subject we need to analyze the musical evidence as it stands, to see what might justify his view of the piece.
