Live at The Aeolian: Clark Bryan

Claude Debussy (1862-1918) is a composer most often associated with Impressionistic Music.

He is one of the most influential composers of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries and continues to have a big influence on modern day composers. Debussy was greatly influenced by the exotic and found great delight in the music and culture presented at the International Exhibition Universelle in Paris (1889). Debussy heard Javanese Gamelan music during this Exhibition and incorporated gamelan scales, melodies, rhythms and ensemble textures into some of his compositions.
