Three characteristics of Debussy's music are: Sensitivity towards timbre (like the impressionist painters' sensitivity towards colour), use of scales and modes from medieval and Far Eastern music and the use of chords to create descriptive effects. Debussy used different types of scales to give his melodies character and create particular moods or effects on his music. Some of his scales originate in classical western music (major and minor). Some of his scales, he discovered in medieval music (modes) others he discovered in the gamelan music of Java and Bali (pentatonic). Sometimes he made his own scales. =media type="youtube" key="wxdo0rz0pxs" height="385" width="480"=
