The composi tion was submitted to fulfill the scholarship requirements that the winning composer must write a major work each ear. . Debussy wrote the work as a musical setting to a poem by Dante Gabrielle Rossetti who declared that his poem was inspired by Poe's "The Raven." Poe, said Rosetti, had done his uttermost to portray the grief of the lover on earth, and he, Rossetti, was deter mined to reverse the condition and give utterance to the yearning of the loved one in heaven. Together with this work, Conductor Richard Werner has programmed "Symphony No. 1 in C major" by Beeth oven. Also on the program will be Saint Saens "Carnival of Animals" with two piano soloists, narrator and ballet.
