DEBUSSY La Cathédrale Engloutie
Mar 12 all-day
Online w/ Brevard Music Center
Keith's Cornerer banner

Keith’s Corner features inspiring musical performances and personal stories from our very own Keith Lockhart and special guests.

DEBUSSY La Cathédrale Engloutie

I’ve been involved with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for the last five years.  My wife, Emiley, followed her passion for the sea and originally joined the organization as a volunteer, and followed that by accepting a position in WHOI’s administration.  She is currently the Deputy General Counsel, and participates in policy and planning for all facets of the organization, which is involved in cutting-edge ocean research all over the world.

When they asked me to perform at their virtual gala in October. I chose Debussy’s piano prelude “La Cathedrale Engloutie,” a piece I have always loved but never gotten around to learning.  Debussy’s gorgeous work, which dates from 1910, is a quintessential example of his impressionist style.  Its veiled musical imagery paints the subtle play of wind, water, and light.  Its program tells of an old Breton legend, about a magical cathedral that rises, on certain crystal-clear mornings, from the watery depths.  One hears music that depicts dawn on the ocean, muted sounds of monk’s chanting, bells pealing and the cathedral organ in its full glory as the edifice breaks the surface of the water, and then the long, slow diminuendo as the mystical cathedral returns to the depths.

I chose this piece for them because, at its core, the story it tells is one of humanity’s age-old fascination with what lies below the surface of our oceans.  Woods Hole is dedicated to just that knowledge.  For more information on this extraordinary institution, please visit WHOI.edu.

Immerse Yourself in Music

Become part of the BMC community. Experience the thrill of performing with the world’s most celebrated artists. Practice your craft and develop your skills in a picturesque rehearsal studio – in nature, beside the lake, amongst the white pines, alongside the stream. Share a communal lunch or an impromptu conversation with faculty and guest artists in our cafeteria. Interact with patrons who fill our auditoriums and love to hear your music.

We welcome you, the next generation of musicians and artists. We encourage you, and challenge you, to experience the magic of the Brevard Music Center. In a community of musicians, you will be transformed. On the stage and in the classroom, you will be inspired. In just one summer, you will make new friendships that will last a lifetime.

This is Brevard. Be inspired. Be here.
