1. Reread Take a Closer Look Exploring Claude Debussy’s “Clair de Lune” in your textbook. 2. Carefully listen to the song “Clair de Lune” and critically examine its components, style, context, and influence. Listen for and try identifying at least TWO basic elements of music described in the required Module 6 textbook pages.
