Two famous piano works with the same title, one by Robert Schumann and the other by Claude Debussy, inspire the arching phrases and ornaments of my Arabesque. Like both of those, mine is gently introspective. Imagine a lullaby under a canopy of stars. Its rocking motion begins in a modal language that gradually becomes more and more chromatic as it spirals ever upwards. This transcription for small orchestra makes manifest more of the colors implicit in the original piano piece.
