    10 – St. Martin de Porres


    “Music of Debussy”
    “Clair de Lune”
     'Clair de lune' takes its title from an atmospheric poem
    by the French poet Paul Verlaine which depicts the
    soul as somewhere full of music 'in a minor key' where
    birds are inspired to sing by the 'sad and beautiful'
    light of the moon.
    “Prelude to the Afternoon
    Fawn”
     Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune (L. 86), known in
    English as Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, is a
    symphonic poem for orchestra by Claude Debussy,
    approximately 10 minutes in duration. It was
    composed in 1894 and first performed in Paris on 22
    December 1894, conducted by Gustave Doret. The flute
    solo was played by Georges Barrère.
    “Ariettes Oubliees”
     Ariettes oubliées (Forgotten Songs) is a song cycle for
    voice and piano, L. 60 by Claude Debussy, based on
    poems by Paul Verlaine. The six ariettes were composed
    mostly in Rome in 1886. The first two were completed in
    Paris in March 1887. They are dedicated to the singer
    Mary Garden who also sang Mélisande. The poetry of
    Paul Verlaine had a more profound influence on Claude
    Debussy's music than did Debussy's closest literary or
    musical acquaintances
    “Music of Ravel”
    “Pavane for the Dead
    Princess”
     Pavane pour une infante défunte (Pavane for a Dead
    Princess) is a work for solo piano by Maurice Ravel,
    written in 1899 while the French composer was studying
    at the Conservatoire de Paris under Gabriel Fauré.
    Ravel published an orchestral version in 1910 using two
    flutes, an oboe, two clarinets (in B♭), two bassoons, two
    horns, harp, and strings. The Pavane lasts between six
    and seven minutes and is considered a masterpiece
    “Bolero”
     Bolero refers to two distinct genres of slow-tempo
    Hispanic music and their associated dances.[1] The
    oldest type of bolero originated in Spain during the late
    18th century as a form of ballroom music, which
    influenced art music composers around the world,
    most famously Maurice Ravel's Boléro, as well as a
    flamenco style known as boleras. An unrelated genre of
    sung music originated in eastern Cuba in the late 19th
    century as part of the trova tradition. This genre
    gained widespread popularity around Latin America
    throughout the 20th century and continues to thrive.
    “Miroirs”
     Miroirs (French for "Mirrors") is a five-movement
    suite for solo piano written by French composer
    Maurice Ravel between 1904 and 1905.[1] First
    performed by Ricardo Viñes in 1906, Miroirs contains
    five movements, each dedicated to a fellow member of
    the French avant-garde artist group Les Apaches
