File:Amazing Claude Debussy Google Doodle

Description
Claude Debussy was a famous french composer. He was born on August 22, 1862 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France. Google celebrates his 151st birthday with an amazing doodle. It's an animated music-video. The song is "Clair de lune". It's the third movement of Suite bergamasque - a piano depiction of a Paul Verlaine poem. Here's the poem:

Your soul is a chosen landscape Where charming masqueraders and bergamaskers go Playing the lute and dancing and almost Sad beneath their fanciful disguises.

All sing in a minor key Of victorious love and the opportune life, They do not seem to believe in their happiness And their song mingles with the moonlight,

With the still moonlight, sad and beautiful, That sets the birds dreaming in the trees And the fountains sobbing in ecstasy, The tall slender fountains among marble statues. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clair_de_Lune_(poem) More about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clair_de_lune_(Debussy)
