Thursday's Google Doodle celebrates the 151st birthday of French composer Claude Debussy.
Born on Aug. 22, 1862 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France, Debussy is one of the most prominent Impressionist composers, though he himself despised the term. Debussy's most famous works include "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune," "La mer," and his only opera, "Pelléas et Mélisande." He died of rectal cancer at the age of 55.
The animated Doodle, which shows a romantic nocturnal scene, is set to one of Debussy's famous pieces, "Clair de lune."
