What Is The Story Of Debussy’s ‘Clair De Lune’?
On Sunday, both Elizabeth and Hearties were equally and instantly enchanted with Angela Canfield, in her first When Calls The Heart appearance. She is playing the piano beautifully. The song? Debussy’s “Clair De Lune.” What do we know about the song?
French Impressionist composer Claude Debussy wrote the hauntingly beautiful song in 1890. He was only 28 years old. This particular song is part of a four-song piece called Suite Bergamasque. Clair De Lune means “moonlight.”
The name of the song, “Clair De Lune” is from an “atmospheric poem” by the French poet Paul Verlaine. This poem is a rather melancholy song that depicts the soul full of music “in a minor key.” This key inspires birds to sing under the “sad and beautiful” light of the moon.
But, according to Classic FM, the song was not published until 1905. That is because Debussy revised and worked on his signature masterpiece for 15 years. So it fits the time frame for When Calls The Heart perfectly. The song was out just about 15 years, and would easily have reached Hope Valley. Moreover, this beautiful song is meant for the solo piano. The performance, like the song, hauntingly breathtaking.
“Clair De Lune” was also a song in the movie Twilight.
