Grandpa and I lived together in a cozy house in the woods. He was a short, bald and slightly overweight tailor who worked from home. He didn't bother to look good to impress women or men and never got married. His discipline, passion for classic music, and hours of study after work made him into a self-taught pianist. In the occasional instances when I'd shut myself off in my bedroom upstairs, he knew my spirits were low. Like a master, he'd then play Debussy, his favorite composer and mine, for at least half an hour. It's been almost ten years he transitioned into the ethereal dimension. Now, from a distant memory, come the notes that filled the house and reached the small creatures in the surrounding vegetation. Whenever I evoke the image of the movement of his fingers working their magic on the keyboard.

There is something special about Debussy's music. Bach and Beethoven might be powerful and grand. Motzart might range from catchy and light to haunting and beautiful. But Debussy's music sounds as if full of love and care, a love that is untroubled by any of the other problems of the world, where one is completely taken to another place.

Every time I hear Debussy I picture our old fashioned farmhouse in Maine with its quaint wallpaper and white-painted woodwork and braided rugs. I was 9 years old in 1975 and we had just gotten our first stereo record player with the automatic mechanism that allowed you to stack 6-8 records in queue so you didn’t have to stand by and move the arm at the end of one side. My parents played classical, gospel, hymns, and all the sacred Christmas classics. Every time I hear this music I feel the peace and contentment that still lives in my parents’ house no matter where they live. ❤️❤️❤️

Serene, peaceful, angelic, otherworldly, these are but a few words I would use to describe these compositions. I have listened to a lot of piano music, but none hit me with the same level of pure beauty and bliss that these compositions do. Debussy knew how to create music so serene you could fall asleep to, but so powerful you want to listen to every note played. I hope those of you who have found this video get as much happiness and bliss from this music as I do.

Having been raised with no music in my tumultuous home there was no way for me to escape my abusive conditions until I stumbled on Debussy and others whose music was being played in old films my one escape from childhood imprisonment by my disturbed mother. I absorbed this music and regularly played it in my head for my psycholigical survival. As an adult I purchased album after album which has never failed to lift my spirits and the ballets I still envision in my head. Thank you.

Our mother was a gifted pianist. As children, we always came home from school to a house filled with music. Debussy was one of her favorite composers, with his hauntingly beautiful pieces. We lost our mom in 2005, but have wonderful memories of her playing the piano; she gave us the gift of music every day. ❤
