A major early work of French composer Claude Debussy, Clair de Lune illustrates Debussy's delicate compositional style. Because Debussy did not rely on key-based melody lines and accompanying harmony, his pieces are lush, impressionistic, and often suggest dreamlike qualities. The tranquil Clair de Lune evokes a peaceful, moonlight night. Pianist Robyn Smith plays this excerpt.
