24. CLAUDE DEBUSSY (1862–1918)
➢ Claude Debussy was one of the most influential and
leading composers of the 20th century. He was the
principal exponent of the impressionist movement
and the inspiration for other impressionist
composers. He reformed the course of musical
development by eradicating traditional rules and
conventions into a new language of possibilities in
harmony, rhythm, form, texture, and color.
➢ He was born on August 22, 1862 in a small towncalled
St. Germain-en-Layein in France.
➢ He composed a total of more or less 227
masterpieces which include orchestral music,
chamber music, piano music, operas, ballets, songs,
and other vocal music.

25. CLAUDE DEBUSSY (1862–1918)
➢ He was known as the “Father of the Modern School
of Composition” and made his impact in the styles of
the later 20th century composer like Igor Stravinsky.
➢ Debussy’s mature creative period was exemplified
by the following works:
• String Quartet
• La Mer (1905)-a highly imaginative and
atmospheric symphonic work for orchestra about
the sea
• Première Arabesque
• Claire de Lune (Moonlight)-The third and most
famous movementof Suite bergamasque.

26. CLAUDE DEBUSSY (1862–1918)
➢ In the field of visual arts, Debussy was
influenced by Monet, Pissaro, Manet,
Degas, and Renoir; and from the literary
arts, by Mallarme, Verlaine and Rimbaud.
➢ Most of his close friends were painters
and poets who significantly influenced his
works.
➢ On March 25, 1918, he died of cancer at the
height of the First World War in Paris.

27. CLAUDE DEBUSSY (1862–1918)

28. MAURICE RAVEL (1875–1937)
➢ Joseph Maurice Ravel was born in Ciboure,
France to a Basque mother and a Swiss
father. At age 14, he entered the Paris
Conservatory where he was musically
nurtured by a prominent French composer,
Gabriel Faure. The compositional style of
Ravel is mainly characterized by its
distinctively innovative but not atonal style
(music that is written in a way that is not
based on any particular key) of harmonic
treatment.

29. MAURICE RAVEL (1875–1937)
➢ His works are defined with intricate
and sometimes modal melodies and
extended chordal components. It
demands considerable technical
virtuosity from the performer which
is the character, ability, or skill of a
virtuoso—a person who is exemplary
in musical technique or execution.

30. MAURICE RAVEL (1875–1937)
➢ Ravel was a perfectionist and every
bit a musical craftsman. He
strongly adhered to the classical
form, specifically its ternary
structure. A strong advocate of
Russian music, he also admired the
music of Chopin, Liszt, Schubert,
and Mendelssohn. He died in Paris
in 1937.
