During childhood summers spent at the beaches at Cannes,
Debussy learned to love the unpredictable and ever-changing sea. The most
traditionally ‘symphonic’ of Debussy’s orchestral works, La mer is
comprised of three sketches: From Dawn
to Noon on the Sea, Play of the Waves, and Dialogue of the Wind and the
Sea.
