Google’s “moonlight” doodle honors French composer Claude Debussy

“The dark Paris skyline is punctuated by flicks of yellow light from lamps and houses,” writes the Christian Science Monitor. “An classic car drives along the shores of the Seine and a steamship emits white puffs of smoke as it chugs along in the night.

“Two boats gradually appear alongside each other, the silhouettes of a man and a woman gradually appear, rowing in the same direction. A soft and steady rain starts, the boats sync courses as the two rowers share a candy apple red umbrella, their course lit by the glow of the moon, their movement in tempo with Claude Debussy’s ‘Clair de Lune.’

“This Google Doodle honors the late French composer Claude Debussy with a cartoon of Paris, illuminated by the moon, a tribute to Mr. Debussy’s best-known work ‘Clair de Lune,’ which is French for ‘moonlight.’
