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 the ringing of church bells “in a sweetly sonorous fog” in a piece in this genre based on a Breton myth about the Island of (*) Ys (“ees”). To open a piece in this genre, a flute chromatically descends from C-sharp to G. “The Sunken Cathedral” and “The Girl with the Flaxen Hair” are examples of, for 10 points, what pieces, one of which Claude Debussy wrote “to the Afternoon of a Faun?” ■END■
ANSWER: preludes [accept Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun]
