Claude Debussy's L'isle joyeuse (The Happy Island) is an extended solo piano piece that was inspired by Watteau's painting L'Embarquement de Cythère, in which a happy group of revelers depart for/from the mythical island of Cythera in the Mediterranean, birthplace of Venus, the goddess of love. Douglas McLain made a fine arrangement of this piano piece for the work instrumentation of a for Symphonic Band.
