I have included below a Dropbox link to a Dorico file of the three movements of Debussy’s “La Mer” for users who may be interested. The playback template is set to Silence so users are free to choose the sound library or libraries of their choice.
Background: I made the file because I am fascinated by Debussy’s music and wanted to explore his methods. The file is not condensed because I like to highlight and listen to selected passages at will. Because I am not preparing the score for live performance I have not included harp pedal diagrams which are large in number and unnecessary to get accurate playback and have also omitted most text that has no impact on playback using my instrument libraries—“Plus calme et très expressif” or “Sur le chevalet” for strings, for example. Otherwise, I have attempted to accurately reproduce the score in the Dover publication “Three Great Orchestral Works in Full Score” that I have used as my source and which is included in the IMSLP website. In addition, I have reviewed Dorico’s proofreading suggestions and made related changes. However, I will be happy and even grateful to hear of further corrections that should be made including to tempi. The music is in the public domain.
(The attached file has been updated to open at the beginning in Write mode in page view but is otherwise unchanged.)
