The Debussy Music Mix

Claude Debussy was a musical modernist who composed atmospheric melodies and left behind a trail of broken hearts. Listen and hear his and his musical peers' most memorable works.

An unfaithful lover and pioneer of musical modernism, Claude Debussy paved the way for music that painted and evoked atmospheres.

From the turbulent waves of the sea to the calm of moonlight, this playlist explores the evocative musical landscape of Debussy and his fellow composers 鈥� Gabriel Faur茅 and Maurice Ravel, as well as his admiration for Chopin. Discover the music of Lili Boulanger, who at 19 was the first woman to win France鈥檚 prestigious Prix de Rome composition prize, and Germaine Tailleferre, the only woman to be a member of 鈥楲es Six鈥�, a group of leading French composers.
