Debussy's first song for voice and piano was written in 1879, when he was 17. The title was "Ballades à la lune," (Ballads to the Moon) to a long poem by Alfred de Musset. It begins and ends with a description of the moon, likened to "a dot on an i." The song has not apparently survived; it isn't now in the official collection of Debussy's songs.
He wrote classical music in the impressionist time era. It could also be considered during the romantic or modern, since the impressionist time era was overlapping the other two. Impressionist music is considered to be very beautiful but also contains modern elements in the style of the compositions.
This isn't a classical music question as Hugo's Clair de Lune is a poem and he wasn't a composer but a writer and poet. The poem in question comes from a collection called Les Orientales, which was published in 1829. You may be thinking of Debussy's Claire de Lune which comes from his Suite Bergamasque for piano and is inspired by a Verlaine poem of the same name.
Debussy wrote a piece for unaccompanied flute, "Syrinx," a famous tone poem for flute accompanied by orchestra, "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun," and a sonata for flute, viola and harp. He also wrote music for two flutes, two harps and celesta to be played with a series of recitations titled "Bilitis," not to be confused with the "Chansons de Bilitis" for voice and piano.
