Golliwogg's Cake Walk
Debussy, C

Musicians Publications presents Claude Debussy's Golliwogg s Cakewalk arranged for woodwind quintet by Bill Holcombe and Bill Holcombe Jr.

Claude Debussy (1862-1918) wrote his charming Children s Corner as a six-movement suite for solo piano in 1908. Debussy s friend Andre Caplet orchestrated the music in 1911.The suite is dedicated to Debussy s daughter Claude-Emma (known as Chou-Chou ), who was three years old at the time. Unlike some other children s pieces, these gems by Debussy were not intended to be played by children. They evoke the spirit of childhood and were based on some of his beloved daughter s favorite toys.

The instantly recognizable Golliwog s Cakewalk is by far the most famous piece in the set. The cakewalk was a popular dance that originated in slave gatherings in the south. American illustrator Florence K. Upton created the image of the golliwog, a black-face doll, in her famous children s books. Debussy s music captures something of the spirit of jazz, which was taking the world by storm in the early years of the twentieth century.
