However, compared with the work of, say, Brahms, considered a master of the symphony, or the similarly-regarded Mahler (who wrote his Fifth, Sixth and Seventh symphonies in the first 5 years of the 20th century), Debussy’s loose structures, lack of precise repetition of themes and rejection of linear harmonic progression present a markedly different approach. 2 ‘La mer’ encapsulates this philosophy. La Mer is an orchestral composition by Claude Debussy. 6 Oui, minimum ! (b) To what extent can ‘La mer be regarded as an exemplar of musical modernism? If ‘Prélude’ is modern, then so too is ‘La mer’, as it develops the innovative harmony, form and orchestration of the earlier work, using its principles in a larger form, focusing on freedom from tradition rather than adhering to it. Much of the harmony in ‘La mer’ is based on exotic scales such as whole-tone (bar 115) and pentatonicism (bar 31). 0.0/10 10 -  It is the exploration of new harmonic languages that has characterised musical developments in the century since ‘La mer’ was completed, and Debussy can be considered of great influence in this respect.

Cellofan (2015/5/24), Complete Score -  10 In order to examine Debussy’s musical techniques in more detail, let us focus on the first movement of ‘La mer.’ Entitled ‘De l’aube à midi sur la mer’ (‘From dawn to midday on the sea’), like much of the work, it creates a sense of frequently shifting tableaus as new motifs, themes and tonalities enter and exit, almost like a series of ‘waves’. It still contains numerous differences from the 1909 second edition (see below). 4 These tonalities are juxtaposed with a general lack of cadences and changes are sudden rather than prepared in any way, creating a harmonic language where the traditional tension-resolution mechanism of harmonic progression is rejected in favour of an alternative language. Messaien tended to control his structures more tightly, but, like Debussy, explored a range of exotic tonalities to create his own personal harmonic language. 10 (-) - V*/V*/V* - 25597×⇩ - Carolus, PDF scanned by Unknown Dialogue du Vent et de la Mer 6 0.0/10 It was in Bourgogne, in Bichain, far from the waves and the ocean, that Claude Debussy began composing La Mer, Trois esquisses symphoniques during the summer of 1903. 4 2 -  6 8 0.0/10 Ragtime syncopation in ‘Golliwog’s Cake-walk’ is combined with chromaticism in imitation rather than to create harmonic ambiguity (chromaticism is found widely in Joplin’s music).
