all of the work that Debussy has composed. It is very difficult to use this scale correctly unless you have a lot of practice.
THE ENJOYMENT OF Music 11th edition shorter version, Kristine Forney and Joseph Machlis
He is famouse because he composed some of the greatest french songs, influenced many other famous people, formulated the 21st note scale, changed how insutrments were used for orchestration, and was a brillian composer/piano player
Many opinions, so here's mine: Claude-Achille Debussy was experimenting with a new tonality, the whole-note scale, where every step is a whole note (the major scale runs whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half). It's a marvellous effect. Pieces that come quickly to mind are: Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun Claire de Lune (Moonlight) the Girl with the Flaxen Hair la Mer (the Sea) a string quartet Two close contemporaries exploring similar kinds of sound were Maurice Ravel and Gabriel Fauré.
The scale with a lowered seventh is the Mixolydian scale. You might be looking for the Hijass scale .

Eastern music first began influencing Western music at the end of the Romantic Period. Actually, this influence is what caused Impressionism. Claude Debussy was at a great exhibition, and noticed one of their instruments. This instrument required several people to play, and used the pentatonic scale was used. Debussy enjoyed the music so much, he thought he would try to imitate the sound of the instrument using a western scale. Viola! The impressionistic period was born!

Presumably, the pentatonic scale was first used in Eastern Asian regions during medieval period in history of music. Debussy and other Late Romantic composers were highly influenced of the scale.
