Rotation #4
Last rotation's songs are still up because I don't really care that much about bandwidth anymore... after all, it's just Penn's bandwidth I'm wasting and I think I pay enough in tuition. I guess I'll just keep past rotations up from now on unless it becomes a problem somehow. :) So here's another 13 songs, because 13 is my magic number.

Title: Clair de Lune
Artist: Claude Debussy
Length: 4:31
Language: None
Genre: Instrumental
Rating: 5/5
Info: An absolute must download because it's a classic (just about Debussy's most famous piece) and wonderfully gorgeous. One of these days, I'm going to teach myself to play it---that is, successfully. Achille-Claude Debussy (August 22, 1862 - March 25, 1918) was a French composer. He worked within the style commonly referred to as impressionist music, a term which he dismissed. Debussy was not only one of the most important French composers but was also one of the most important figures in music at the turn of the last century; his music represents the transition from late-romantic music to 20th century modernist music.
