Round 6: Tossup 11

An F-major rendition of “God Save the King” opens a piece in this genre written as an “Hommage” to Samuel Pickwick. A piece in this genre begins with the right hand playing descending thirds in a theme marked “without rigor” and is titled “Voiles.” Parallel fifths evoke (-5[1])the ringing of church bells “in a (15[1])sweetly sonorous fog” in a piece in this genre based on a Breton myth (-5[1])about the Island of (*) Ys (-5[1])(“ees”). To open a piece in this genre, a flute chromatically descends from C-sharp to G. “The (10[1])Sunken Cathedral” (10[1])and “The Girl with the Flaxen Hair” are examples of, for 10 points, (10[1])what (10[1])pieces, one of which Claude Debussy wrote “to the Afternoon of a Faun?” ■END■ (10[3])
