JUly COMPOSER: claude debussy
La Mer 1903-05
La Mer (French for The Sea) is a well-known composition of Debussy’s, some call it a masterpiece. It is an extremely atmospheric piece of music, drawing heavily on rolling sonorous chords and notes creating an intimate imagery that evokes all the senses. It’s a very familiar style (to me anyway) from film and television scores. However, for this piece at least, the imagination does a more wonderful version producing images than any film could.
