Music is the expression of the movement of the waters, the play of curves described by changing breezes. - Claude Debussy La Mer ("The Sea") is not only the title of Debussy's orchestral masterwork, but an apt metaphor for his innovative art. As Rachel Carson noted, like the sea itself, the surface of Debussy's music hints at the brooding mystery of its depths, and ultimately the profound enigma of life itself -- after all, mankind carries the primordial salt of the sea in our blood. - Classical Notes
