French Classical Music Classical music is the heart and soul of all types of music. Rap, country, pop, and even techno are all "grandchildren" of classical music. Now when you think of classical music you probably think of Mozart, Vivaldi, or even Tchaikovsky...but what about Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, or Lili Boulanger?
Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and Lili Boulanger are well known French classical composers. They all had their careers during the early 1900s, and they all played the piano. Pianos to composers are like fresh food to cooks. It's the heart of what they do. To composers, music is their child. They devote all of their time to it and they put all their heart and soul into it. |

My Experience
I enjoyed researching and learning about each composer. I decided to research Lili, Claude, and Maurice. I choose these three astounding composers because they were all from around the same period, they were of French nationality, and they all had different styles of composing. I was really intrigued on their lives and how they began composing. I thought it was interesting how three completely different lives could have one thing in common. One thing that made their life full of happiness. And that one thing was composing music.
