The Sea is Beckoning La Mer is one of Claude Debussy's most well known compositions. Debussy had long loved the sea and had long been mesmerized by it. It has been said that whenever he tried to work by the sea, he would become distracted and not able to focus on his work at hand (Trezise 13). Many sources suggest Debussy may have started to compose La Mer during a time in his life where he was very emotionally confused. Debussy is considered an impressionist composer and La Mer an extremely impressionist musical composition. He wrote it to try and describe what the sea is and how it behaves through music so that someone who has never seen the sea might understand it. Debussy surely watched the waves crash on the shore enough to know by heart how to describe the sea.
