Gathering Music Reverie Born to a family of modest means and little cultural involvement, Debussy showed enough musical talent to be admitted at the age of ten to France's leading music college, the Conservatoire de Paris.
Prelude Aza l s Song He originally studied the piano, but found his vocation in innovative composition, despite the disapproval of the Conservatoire's conservative professors.
Offertory The Peaceful Garden He took many years to develop his mature style and was nearly 40 when he achieved international fame in 1902 with the only opera he completed, Pell as et M lisande.
Postlude and Sending Music Sacred Piece With early influences including Russian and Far Eastern music, Debussy developed his own style of harmony and orchestral coloring, derided and unsuccessfully resisted by much of the musical establishment of the day.
