The image that Debussy is depicting in The Sunken Cathedral is that of the legendary city of Y's (pronounced "Eess"). Once a beautiful and powerful city off the coast of France, Y's became rampant with sin and was swallowed by the ocean. Now on clear mornings when the water is transparent, the city rises up from the sea. Sounds can be heard of priests chanting, bells chiming, and the organ playing from across the sea until its eventual return underwater.
