Google on Thursday remembered Achille-Claude Debussy, a French composer of impressionist music, with an animated doodle on his 151st birthday.

Born on August 22, 1862, Claude Debussy's love for music was evident from his childhood.

Debussy started taking piano lessons at seven. At the age of ten, he entered the Paris Conservatoire, a college of music and dance. Here Debussy spent 11 years studying music composition and playing instuments with some of the best musicians and composers of his time. Claude Debussy was also experimental and argumentative.

Debussy is remembered because of his unique style and has received scholarships for his composition.

His works grasped the morbid romanticism of the Symbolist movement.

Prominent and creative composer Rudolph Reti, a music analyst, pianist and composer, termed Debussy's music as 'a new concept of tonality in European music'.

Claude Debussy's compositions include orchestral, ballet, soloist and orchestra, chamber, solo piano and much more.

Google has dedicated an animated doodle to honour him. The doodle features a moonlight riverside scene with flashing streets lights. In the doodle, human figures are seen rowing boats, cycling and driving cars.

As the scene progresses Debussy's most popular piece, Clair de Lune plays in the background. The music ends with two people meeting.
