Google Celebrates 151 Years Of Claude Debussy, French Style

The animated logo takes you on a magical ride alongside the French Rivera.

 

Every year Google puts up loads of doodles on its home page, and a few of them are interactive. Some of them may not be of too much significance for all of us, but the sheer effort and attention to detail makes it worthwhile. Although a doodle honouring French composer Claude Debussy would make little sense to us Indians, but the logo is a real work of art.

It takes you on an epic journey across the French Rivera, as you go back 151 years to a full-moon night, as the composer's best-known set, Clair de lune (Moonlight). The music is visually complimented with the city lights, and the pace with which vehicles (on the road), and boats (in the river) move with the pace of the music. You'll notice the old school-bicycles, falling stars, street and house light flickers, rowing boats as the third movement of his popular Suite bergamasque (1890–1905) plays in the back drop.  If you wait patiently for the animation to end, the two rowing boats cross each other on as it begins to rain, sharing a red umbrella as the Google logo appears in a white.

For the curious kinds, Achille-Claude Debussy better known as Claude Debussy, was born on 22nd August, 1862 and was known to be a gifted pianist by the age of nine. He is heralded as an important personality that changed the face of Western Music in modern times.
