Claude Debussy - La Mer

  • "La Mer" L.109, (The Sea), is an orchestral composition by Claude Debussy. It was started in 1903 in France and completed in 1905 on the English Channel coast in Eastbourne. The premiere was given by the Lamoureux Orchestra under the direction of Camille Chevillard on 15 October 1905 in Paris. "La Mer" is a composition of huge suggestion and subtlety in its rich depiction of the ocean, which combines unusual orchestration with daring impressionistic harmonies. The work has proven very influential, and its use of sensuous tonal colours and its orchestration methods have influenced many later film scores. While the structure of the work places it outside of both absolute music and programme music as those terms were understood in the early 20th century, it obviously uses descriptive devices to suggest wind, waves and the ambience of the sea. But structuring a piece around a nature subject without any literary or human element to it - neither people, nor mythology, nor ships are suggested in the piece - also was highly unusual at the time.
    Debussy called his work "three symphonic sketches," avoiding the loaded term symphony; yet the work is sometimes called a symphony; it consists of two powerful outer movements framing a lighter, faster piece which acts as a type of scherzo.
    "La Mer" is divided inot three movements:
    1. "De l'aube à midi sur la mer" (from dawn to midday on the sea);
    2. "Jeux de vagues" (Play of the Waves);
    3. "Dialogue du vent et de la mer" (Dialogue of the wind and the sea).
    Conductor: Vladimir Ashkenazy & Cleveland Orchestra

    I've known this piece almost all my life (I'm 72) and I've heard all the great performances -- Toscanini, Monteux, Munch, Boulez, etc. I was just bowled over by this one. It is just perfectly paced and so transparent (it helps that he had an orchestra of the caliber of the Cleveland at his disposal). I love the way he does the crash of the wave at 18:00. The more I hear of Ashkenazy the conductor, the more of a believer I've become (I was already a believer in Ashkenazy the pianist).

I would often listen to it as I did other classical pieces like Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite" or Karl Richter playing Liszt's Fantasia & Fugue In G Minor. I have to agree this piece = Transcendence and Unity. Listening to it just now brought back that bliss and unity that I experienced then.

    When this music was written people weren't expected to hold two jobs to afford to buy everything in sight from Walmart. Stopping to smell the roses wasn't a cliché.' No TV or radio or cell phones. People had time to think, to enjoy life's natural pleasures. Of course it wasn't all beaucolic. Disease struck down children and adults. War killed 10's of thousands. Thankfully, this music was written so we may enjoy it if we allow ourselves the time - our greatest gift to ourselves.

      Daniel Montes de Oca It might be fascinating to know that when it premiered in Paris in 1905, it was wrought with truly harsh criticism from some of France's most distinguished critics. Many claimed the piece no longer sounded true to Debussy's free form, and that he had grown to become stiff and systematic of his own freeness. One critic even said, "I have the impression that M. Debussy found composition to be a duty instead of a pleasure". What I say is good thing the opinion has changed! It is an impeccably beautiful piece, and the few that dislike it now is much less than those in 1905, that's for sure!

    This is a great composition, and a great rendition of the composition. I am 54 now and heard this first when I was maybe 5. At that time is was colorful and mood evoking. As I have grown and learned music composition, I have come to love this on a deeper level. The intricate complexities and theme interplay are always engrossing even after many times hearing it.
    It is easily in my top 3 all time favorites, and not just of classical, but all music.
    I read some comments of movie theme music, and I have always thought this was like the granddad to them all. In a way, it started the genre. It is hard to judge the impact on modern composition La Mer has had, but I suspect it is huge, even for composers who may not have heard it, because chances are they have heard the influence of a composer who has. This is a gateway to imagination and emotion.
    I love the piece and have always wanted it to be a little longer...he goes thru so many themes, and some are just touched on, evoking the possibility of expounding on those...but he just gives us teasers in a complex buffet. To the contrary though, is the idea that because he does not linger or repeat too much, that may create the excitement to hear it over and over.
    I think I have expressed some ideas I have had about La Mer, and after reading so many remarks, I wanted to share.

    This piece is an amazing journey and captures the sea perfectly, in my opinion...
    There are a few cues in the piece for which I imagined some scenes ;)
    1:20 sounds like you take to the sea in your first ship, venturing into the unknown
    2:44 a few clouds appear on the horizon, the sea gets a little rougher
    3:04 the wind gets stronger as the storm closes in
    3:36 the ship rocks around on the now very rough waves, things tumble around on the deck in a wild ballet of wind and water
    4:01 the waves crash down a last time before getting weaker again
    4:34 a single beam of sunlight bursts through the clouds. The sky lightens and the sea lies before your eyes, calm again.
    7:44 a small dark smear appears on the horizon, steadily growing bigger. You take a closer look and realise it's...
    8:06 ... land!
    If anyone reads this and has another moment in the track that reminds them of some imagery, reply to this and I'll add it!

      Although there is some music which really does seem like rubbish (like Kim Kardashian's song for example 😆) but if someone gets enjoyment out of it who am I to judge?
      Classical music can be hard to get into. Most people only hear it as the soundtrack in movies. And most people listen to music with a singer, not instrumentals.

    Note: John Williams drew inspiration of this piece( especially the third movement ) to create the Jaws theme song.

      Also, if you listen to "Bruyeres" you can hear that he extracted some influence for the Star Wars Theme.

    I remember hearing a podcast about this piece a few years ago. This was considered to be way too weird and experimental at the time; it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

    I adore this work. First CD I bought was a CD of La Mer. I used to take my dad's record, put it on cranking the volume up max and lie in the carpet listening to this with my eyes closed imagining the sea with light playing on the waves. I could never get enough of it.

    The gods of music favor this night... clarity into the mind of Debussy as I had never experienced it before... slower movement perceived and enhanced... I feel I am underwater. And I’m sober... the techniques of Debussy unveil and open before me... master of orchestration !! Debussy !! Such brilliance ! Such color! Like no one else before you !!
