A word on the Piece

The Little Shepherd (Le Petit Berger) is a Piece from Children's Corner, a suite for solo piano by Claude Debussy, completed in 1908.

It is dedicated to Debussy's daughter Claude-Emma -known as "Chou-Chou"- who was three years old at that time. The pieces are not intended to be played by children. Rather they are meant to be evocative of childhood.

Emma-Claude was born on October 30, 1905 in Paris, and is described as a lively and friendly child who was adored by her father. She died of diptheria on July 14, 1919, scarcely a year after her father.

There are six pieces in the suite, each with an English-language title. This choice of language reflects Debussy's anglophilia, and may also be a nod towards Chou-Chou's English governess. The pieces are:

- Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum
- Jimbo's Lullaby (This may well be a mis-translation from the English: Jumbo's Lullaby)
- Serenade for the Doll
- The Snow is Dancing
- The Little Shepherd (Le Petit Berger)
- Golliwogg's Cakewalk
