CLIP TRANSCRIPT "Debussy was a composer that was just tailor made for the color of the harp, it's something about the wash of sound and color, not unlike the wash of color you see in a Monet painting, it's the same with his music, and the reverberation and the vibration of the string is so conducive to making that blend of sound and creating that wash of tonality that I think Debussy was so wonderful at." SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO Yolanda Kondonassis (kahn-doe-NASS-sis) on the perfect coupling of the harp and French composer, Claude Debussy. This is Debussy's (insert music title).
