At the conservatory, he studied harmony, composition, piano, organ, and solfege. Debussy is said to have lacked a strong work ethic. So he was only allowed to continue to study composition, harmony, and solfege. He had talent and was an excellent sight-reader, but was unwilling to practice.
In 1884 Debussy won the most prestigious award offered in France, The Prix de Rome. This allowed him to live in Rome, Italy for years with all expenses paid. The Prix de Rome was expected to inspire and nurture the winning composer. Italy was a center for musical development at the time, especially in opera. Many composers such as Gioachino Rossini and Giuseppe Verdi found fame there.
Unfortunately, Debussy was not fond of Rome and was often depressed. Italian culture and music did not inspire him. He found comfort in the music of Renaissance composers. Orlande Lassus and Giovanni Palestrina were notable favorites. Debussy did find his inspiration once again after seeing pianist Franz Liszt perform. And he returned to Paris soon after in 1887.
Clair De Lune, Arr.
In 1890 Debussy began to work on the Suite Bergamasque . Clair de Lune is the 3rd movement of this suite. The title was inspired by a poem with the same name, written by French poet Paul Verlaine. The title is French for “moonlight”. Though the suite is from the early days of Debussy's career, we can still hear the creative genius of this French composer.
Claude Debussy composed many influential works throughout his life outside of Clair de Lune. La Mer , two books of preludes, and his famous String Quartet in G minor are a few examples. His style resonated with contemporaries such as Maurice Ravel, Erik Satie, and Igor Stravinsky.
His music is popular with listeners around the world today. His music is often performed in concerts. And through film, television, and radio, people worldwide recognize Clair de Lune.
Clair De Lune ( Fingerstyle Guitar Arrangement) By Claude Debussy
Hi Allen, I am a Dutch guy who plays classical guitar (solo and together with a flute player). Unfortunately I have been suffering from focal dystonia since begin 2016. Of course I tried physical therapy which didn't help… But I tried some of your [technique] lessons (I had teachers before but I was never taught your techniques) and to my big surprise the nasty feeling in the back of my right hand which pulls my index finger upward was gone! So now I practice your lessons. Anyway, I am very happy to have found you on the internet. Thanks very much! ~ Arnoud Reinders -Arnoud Reinders
I started as a folk guitarist, then fell in love with classical guitar in my 20’s. Despite a lot of practice and schooling, I still couldn’t get my music to flow well. I struggled with excess tension. My music sounded forced. And my hands and body were often sore. I got frustrated, and couldn’t see the way forward. Then, over the next decade, I studied with two other stellar teachers – one focused on the technical movements, and one on the musical (he was a concert pianist). In time, I came to discover a new set of formulas and movements. These brought new life and vitality to my practice. Now I help guitarists find more comfort and flow in their music, so they play more beautifully.
I am truly enjoying the growth and challenge that the Woodshed material provides. I look forward to working hard and learning much in the years ahead. Thanks for all the effort and care that you have taken in providing these lessons and resources! ~ Mark Whitsett -Mark Whitsett
