Editions Henry Lemoine presents Claude Debussy's 'Bilitis - Six epigraphes antiques' for flute and harp or flute and piano.

In 1900, three years after the publication of his three songs, 'La Flute de Pan', 'La Chevelure', and 'Le Tombeau des Naiades', Claude Debussy wrote some little known incidental music to accompany the 'Chansons de Bilitis' poems by Pierre Louys. The instrumental ensemble chosen at the time consisted of two flutes, two harps, and a celesta. In 1913 he reworked the principal themes to make the 'Six epigraphes antiques' for four-hand piano. It seems interesting, and even natural, to present this version of the 'Six epigraphes antiques' as a faithful reproduction of the original colour.'
