La Grotte: Auprès de cette grotte sombre

3 Chansons de France · No. 2

Claude Debussy · G♯ minor · 24 bars · 25 chords analysed

A song (in German, a Lied) sets a poem for voice and piano. The piano is a full partner: it paints the scene, the weather and the singer's mood. This score comes from the OpenScore Lieder Corpus, a free collection of 19th-century songs that includes many women composers.

Keys visited: G♯ minor.
