There is a special place in the art world for those who create something entirely new and succeed greatly. Such is the case with Claude Debussy and his 1905 composition, La Mer (The Sea). If you enjoy the mystery of the sea, La Mer will dazzle you. Near the end of the first movement, De l'aube a midi sur la mer (From dawn to noon on the sea), it takes little imagination to see the sun perched radiantly above the water, replacing all of the dark mystery with sunlight.

Wow, this is really nice, college music students would greatly benefit from reading your blog! ha! Your poetic descriptions lend texture and creative substance to your discussions, avoiding the risk of losing someone that doesn't already have a musical knowledge base. Very Smart and enjoyable to read! Kudos!
Thank you. :)
