Clair de Lune (“Promenade Sentimentale”) is the most famous movement of Claude Debussy’s Suite Bergamasque. Published in 1905, Claire de Lune comes from a written poem by Paul Verlaie and means “moonlight.”

Clair de Lune is featured in the movie Ocean’s Eleven, when George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon en Julia Roberts walk away from the robbery.

Claire de Lune is also used as soundtrack in Twilight, The blue lagoon and a TV commercial of “Chanel no. 5″ featuring Nicole Kidman and Rodrigo Santoro.

In the movie Seven years in Tibet, one can hear the recurring notes of Debussy’s Claire de Lune, rendered on a music box that belongs to the young religious leader.

  4. This song is in the movie Twilight, wrote by Stephenie Meyer.

  5. Yes Leonardo it was in Twilight. This fits their loves for one another doesn’t it?

  6. This song is much better than the mix of Richard Clayderman. Why do they keep mix the classical with the modern music. I hate that kind of music

  7. que hermosa cancion me encanta

  8. Stephanie Eldridge says:

    I love the way he moves his fingers very soft onto the piano. Even though you can not see him you can the way he moves his hands. This song makes believe in dreams.That every dream is almost like a fairy-tale. i love it and will always listen to it!!!

  13. Margarida says:

    who cares it is in Twilight?
    One of the best classic compositions ever.

  14. Margarida;
    I care. Because if it isn`t in Twilight, i wouldn`t be enjoying this music now.
    PS: My english it`s really bad, sorry.

  15. Beautiful song, i loved !!
    en verdad, hay una extraña y rica nostalgia en ella.

  16. Federico, your english isn’t really bad. It’s fairly good actually.

  17. Should it not be Clair de Lune?

    And yes, gorgeous piece. A shame I had not known about it before.

  18. Dear Margarida

    I care. I agree whith Frederico. If I never heard this song in the Twilight movie, probably I never know it.

    So I glad this song was played, especialy in the Twilight movie.

  19. Dear Nancy

    I quite whith you. This is a special song. It makes me dream, and believe in a different world, full of love and romance…

    this like dream!!

    i love this website!!

  21. Stephanny says:

    Claire de lune and Arabesque are my favirite compositions by Debussy, he was a great, and talented artist. Is works are stories that speak their own language those i guess would have to be a romantic in theory to understand the implied meaning for to each the message is different.

    Hats off to Debussy.

  22. This song reminds me of a special person who makes my heart swoon.

    And this website is AMAZING. All of my favorites on one website.

    Where can I get a CD or download of these songs just as they are on this website (same performers, etc)?

  23. que linda melodia es ra quilisante no

  24. Dear Joane

    I agree with you. This website is so good. I would like to know how I can do a download of Clair de Lune ? If you know one way, could you tell me ?

  25. es muy bella vieron la pelicula donde aparece la melodia

  26. Mr Jorgos

    This song interpretation is avaliable to buy ?

    • Leonardo, Joanne,

      Thanks for your enthousiasm :-) … yes this recording of Clair de Lune (as well as other recordings) will be available for download soon. Keep you posted.
      All the best,
      Jorgos

  27. I listen to this song while I do my homework. It is so beautiful and helps me relax. Thank you so much.

  28. I love this piece. It has been my favorite since 7th grade music appreciation. Beautiful. One of the first pieces I’ve ever learned how to play.

  29. beautiful

  30. I have loved this piece for many years now and hear it at work. I have it on a collection of Romantic Classics.

    This piece truly speaks to your soul.

  31. This song is one of my favortie pieces, it has some serenity in it. I love listening to it when I read. Lovely.

  32. I feel like having dreams when I listen to this song, it’s so beutiful, and it’s hard to describe this kind of art, the first time I heart “clair de lune” I couldn’t believe that a person could have the talent to produce a sweet sound, it is like fliyng while your are listening…

  33. This song it remainds me of the beginning of a new day. After a lot of sad, and grey days. Is a song that brings a breath of hope.

  34. Jorgos,

    What is the chance of you performing Debussys L’isle Joyeuse (Isle of Joy)? My favorite interpretation of this piece is
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HQu2ta7SUU&NR=1
    but I would love to hear play it, since everything else you played by Debussy was superb.

  35. Sasha Emoniee says:

    I absolutely love this song.LOVE

  36. Justin, thanks for the suggestion (an excellent choice). Debussy has been my favourtite composer for a long time now, but I haven’t managed to master L’isle Joyeuse … yet ;-) . Let’s see if this is a feasible project for 2009. All the best, Jorgos

  37. This is a very beautiful piece of music and if it isn’t for Twilight, I would never have known about this song.

  38. This is just a totally exquisite piece! And yeah, it’s really thanks to twilight that I discovered it!

  39. this song is my favorite classical peace it makes me feel elegant peaceful strong and beautiful like the music itself

  40. i got into debussy after watching portrait of jennie, this song moves me to tears when i hear it, it reminds me of evey love i have had and lost. arabesque reminds me of rain, liten to the peice has its sounds like rain before a rainbow. classical music is songs of the soul, which is why it moves us so.

  41. This song really shows the beauty that can be found within the musical world and the notes. It is refreshing to her an old and golden song played well like this. It is smooth and fresh and peacful, it is one of the best songs of its time, in my opinion.

  42. i originally heard this piece of music in a movie called “when frankie met johnnie” starring al pacino and michelle phiefer. great movie.

  43. beautifully played

  44. antonella says:

    Gosto de ouvi-la pois me acalma muito! Sinto-me nos céus! Tão doce e tão forte ao mesmo tempo!

  55. Porcelain says:

    wow!
    i have never heard anything more beautiful.everytime i hear it i play it over and over again i just cant get enough!!i get so caught up and mesmorized with it because its just so harmonic!! im speechless:D

  56. this piece moves me to tears every time i hear it.it makes me think of everything of in life thats important to me.

  57. I just love this song. The way you played it was superb. This piece itself is charming and exquisite. I can’t get enough of it!! :)

  58. Its just an amazing song…
    every time i hear i cry… i think about the life… trying to figure it out… i try to understand why do we exist, why we’ve done those things to the earth… what did it do to us? it just helped us, helped us to live…
    i remember the best days in my life, i remember the little child playing in the playground, laughing, happy. i understand why we are here. i understand why the love exist. i understand the most dificult thing to understand. i’m not myself when i hear it. and when it ends… oh… its just… all the meanings go away.. i forget what i was doing, i forget how i felt. but just until i turn it on again.

  59. Me recuerda esta musica maravillosa otros tiempos de mi juventud, gracias realmente estoy muy emocionado.

  60. é uma música muito linda! adoro

  61. esta musica es incre. la adoro siempre me recuerda cosas lindas y me arrulla. me da una tranquilidad =]

  62. Beautiful. I feel at peace with myself when I hear this piece everytime. I can’t describe it. You play it wonderfully. Thank you.

  63. This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. They do not make music like that anymore and probably never will

  64. This piece makes me think of quiet things, like raindrops dripping off sunny leaves, walking through a field of wildflowers and brushing my hands along the tops of them, or watching a bird soar. I can even picture two people at a sidewalk cafe leaning toward each other in quiet conversation, oblivious of their surroundings. I like this evocative music very much. It’s fun to get lost in it.

  65. I’m from argentinaa, but I like writing in english, so this song is too beautiful to be written by a human, I can’t believe it. thanks for let me hear it here

  66. So beautiful and peaceful. It’s like lying in a field of green grass with a soft cool wind looking at the deepest blue sky full of white puffy marshmellow clouds…….

  67. es hermosa vibra muy alto el espiritu!!

  68. s.stromberg says:

    I was wondering who performed this piece? It is beautiful and I wanted to use it for a university assignment. It is an incredible piece of music and I agree..we just don’t make amazing music like this anymore!!!

  69. una pieza de arte. Sin más palabras, le agradesco demasiado por haber creado esta obra tan inigualable.

  70. this piece is so beautiful. . . . . . very soothin. . . . .!!!! lovely :D

  71. Yes, it’s beautiful, but so it “the Lark Ascending” byu Vaughn Williams, Moonlight Sonata by beethoven and severl other pieces

  72. i love each one of this songs…
    pacific

  73. Shirley says:

    Makes my heart flutter:)

  74. I have heard this song many times over the years but never knew the name of it.

    I recently heard it on a automobile commercial and found myself waiting for that commercial to come on just to hear the music.

    I know it has been used in many movies and just happened to watch a DVD where it was played again. I waited till the end of the movie to see the credits and saw the name of the song and that led me to this website.
    I love this version with the piano.
    The song makes me feel at peace and gives me a cozy, warm feeling inside.
    I know I will play it over and over.
    Thank you Jorgos.

  75. this song is so loving. it makes me think of a summer romance. its beautiful.

  76. Clair de lune de Debussy, es la música mas perfecta y sublime jamás creada.

  77. This music makes me so happy. It brings happiness into my life and makes me forget all the bad stuff that happens. It reminds me of all the things i like.

  78. Ah, the ever so famous Clair de Lune.

    Even if I found out about this site so late I have always found Clair de Lune one of the best pieces.

    It can be played over and over again and you wounldn’t mind if it did. You’d lose yourself one minute then find yourself the next.

    I love how it makes us reflect on life mostly on the little things that brings us happiness and makes us open our eyes and be thankful.

    I imagine myself lying on a hilltop of soft green grass along with other beautiful flowers. I raise my palm to shield my eyes from the sunlight after a cloud passes by. I sit up and smile, watching the people below smile and laugh at the simplest of things. But then, as I shift my head and see other people who are lost in the shadows and are in need of guidance resulting to frowning lips and endless tears. I close my eyes and raise my head, then silently say a prayer to give a little push to those in the shadows.

    That’s Clair de Lune, a piece where you imagine and express.

    I love getting lost in classical music.

    Honestly, I listen to this before I sleep, along with all my other favourite classical pieces.

    I am quite saddened that not everybody have the chance to hear such a piece, and some don’t even appreciate it. Sigh.

    You played this piece wonderfully. Thank you.

  79. cest bien a la musique

  80. Carlos Coeffé says:

    Esta melodia es preciosa como me gustaria que se escuchara mas seguido en las radios música como esta para parar un poco la violencia de este mundo y elevar nuestras conciencias hacia el amor…

  81. Absolutely beautiful. I think you have solved my insomnia troubles this will definately help to relax into a deep slumber. Amen

  82. Pollyana says:

    Eu adoro essa musica. Geralmente eu a escuto antes de dormir ou ate mesmo quando estou fazendo do Dever de ksa de matematica. Ajuda a raciocinar e a pensar com clareza.
    Serio, eu amei. Principalmente quando a colocaram no repertorio do Crepusculo… Ficou linda demais…

  83. Me encanta este tipo de música es sumamente relajante y me acompaña en mis actividades cotidianas, sobre todo cuando deseo relajarme.

    Debería de escucharse más de este tipo de música, ya que la música clasica nos permite volar por medio de nuestra imaginación al agudizar los sentidos.

    I will like to received this kind of music because it is amazing!!!

  84. yo no se vosotros pero esas pausa y como sube de tono me relaja muchisimo

  85. God save Debussy…

  86. So very beautiful. I listen to this piece played by Tomita every night before going to sleep.

  87. Is there anyway I can download this on to my ipod? I’m new at this.(claire de lune)

  88. I watch a movie and this song come up. I really wanted to find the name of the song and I watch the subtitle and got the name. I been listening to this song over and over. I feel my stress is far behind me. I can’t wait to learn how to play this wonderful song.

  89. I find it amazing that one song can such a varied reaction in everyone. I love this music…it speaks to my soul and says so many things without having to use words.

  90. Um romance que estou lendo me despertou a curiosidadde sobre esta composição.
    Agora que a conheci diria que ela é complemtamente envolvente, sedutora ,versátil , capaz de representar todas as formas de amar!
    Vou querer conhecer mais sobre toda a obra de DeEbussy.

  91. ME encantaria tocar como el

  92. memento mori says:

    I am new comer to classical music. But this is what sublime is

  93. memento mori says:

  94. I am just beginning to enjoy classical music. This song is so peaceful. Thank you.

  95. Maria Gabriela says:

    sou suspeita em falar desta música, para falar a verdade, cheguei aqui por uma obra de Deus, se eu lhes contar, nunca iriam acreditar.

  96. Antes que nada por ahi lei un comentario que insinua que Debussy lo escribio, temo decirles que estan equivocados pues fue Beethoven quien la escribio, espero que ustedes puedan confirmarlo por su cuenta.

  97. ..it was really great..

    ..^_^

  98. Auto-estrada para sonho de primavera

  99. Sentimento de vida e felicidade o que não ando sentindo a um bom tempo! Recomendo outras musicas de Clayde Debussy! é perfeito.. Como beethoven em FOR ELIZE ou 9ªSinfonia!

  100. muy linda me relaja mucho escuchar a claude debussy

  101. There are no words…this is beautiful

  102. If Edward Loves it i shure love it, listening to this brings me closer to him it funny how great things come across your path

  103. By far the most beautiful haunting music I have ever heard. De Bussey is a genius.

  104. There are no words to describe this it is simply awsome; amazing i love piano music but this is a whole new genre.

  105. this piece is a masterpiece made to demolish exasperation. simply put it is enrapturing from the first note to the last.

  106. first time i heard it was when i saw twiligth movie. just a simple, i love it.

  107. Kinda pissed that this song has been tainted with Twilight, because it’s better than that. i never get tired of listenning to it. lovely.

  108. Victoria Sutherland says:

    Ini merupakan suatu karya yang indah. cantik, dan sangat mengalun…
    saya sangat suka dengan lagu ini saat pertama kali mendengarnya…
    It’s really an amazing song

  109. Alisia Piano Fanatic says:

    This piece made my heart melt. I fell in love with the sound, the piece tells a story of beauty and a reason there is music in this world. I thank the virtuso DeBussy for making me believe in pure love and passion in his exquiste song Clair De Lune.

  110. the feeling of love and adoration pure genius. masterpiece.

  111. FallingRain says:

    Give us the feeling, that love really exists.

  112. Sadly people associate this song with twilight people don’t realize it was in Ocean’s Eleven as well, but besides it being a wonderful masterpiece that obviously Hollywood has recognized it is beautiful from start to finish-I love it-it’s calming and wonderful.

  113. Jean Baptiste Baudrillard says:

    Ces`t magnifique!

    I could say more, but all the efforts will be in vain.

  114. excelente Debussy.Dos películas usaron el tema Clair de lune:”Frankie & Johnny” y la nueva “Crepúsculo”

  115. Rebecca says:

    I LOVE this song. I’m learning how to play it and I can practice all night without getting tired of it. It just puts me in a lovely place. Beautiful playing Jorgos!

  116. Caroline says:

    It was Clair de Lune that inspired me to learn to play the piano….it’s a long way away before I’ll ever come close to playing it as beautufully as Jorgos, but I can only hope. Magnificent!

  117. i really hope that other people appreciate this piece as much as i do! it is just a gorgeous, brilliant piece…you must be crazy if you don’t like it! it was played wonderfully…i never get tired of listening to it

  118. LO AMO ES LO MEJOR DE LO MEJOR!!! ADEMAS SALE EN CREPUSCULO AGUAL BKN

  119. niclole says:

    i love this song! i now want to learn it. i heard it first by my mo cuase she used to play it when i was little and then i heard it in twilight and it reminded me how much i love this song. in twilight there were lots of good songs but this was the only one that jump out.

  120. nicole says:

    love,
    second child first duaghter

  122. i love this song! it reminds me of my life. i got reminded of this song when i saw twilight. i didnt really like ocean eleven. kristen stewert was a horrible actor. she kept blinking and i thought i was weird how she always kept her mouth open. it looked like she had bad breath and she was trying to get edward to smell it.

  123. Shakespearita says:

    Esta es una pieza hermosa, es una de mis piezas favoritas de mùsica clàsica.Es una verdadera belleza esta pieza, me hace sentir tan relajada y tranquila, yo la recomiendo ampliamente para escuchar a solas y pensar, o solo para relajarse y dejar pasar el tiempo.Es una verdadera exquisites de buen guto, y refinamiento de oído. Me encanta…

  124. Shakespearita says:

    Wow!!!! No me canso de escucharla una y otra vez… Es realmente exótica esta pieza, llena de sentimientos y emociones muuuuy agradables…. Me relaja. Escùnchenla… Es que es tan sublime, algo fantástico….Glorioso y magnífico. Es una pieza tan distinta a la de Bethoven, pero no por debajo de la ya mencionada pieza. Es como leer un libro de William Shakespeare…. son realmente FANTÁSTICOS Y AMBOS ME ENCANTAN POR IGUAL!!!!!

  125. to bad so many people are upset by this being in twilight. i would not have ever heard this or known of him if not for that movie. i think this is lovely and now want to hear more.

  126. i love your music’ so much… you are incredible

  127. I think this is beautiful, why would people be upset it is in twilight? It is a masterpiece. It has inspired me to listen to more piano. It has nothing to do with Rob P. or the movie. I would have listened to it without twilight and I am glad it is in there. It took a little bit for me to understand what name they were saying because it is hard to here it in the movie but worth the asking. Good job Jorgos!

  128. this is most beautiful. And deff. calms me down when I’m upset/mad. This IS a masterpiece. It has made me listen to more piano and play the piano. I love Claude Debussy, and this amazing work, Claire de Lune.

  129. UNA PIEZA HERMOSA EXTREMADAMENTE MAGICA EL SOLO ESCUCHARLA TE TRANSPORTA A LO MAS TRISTE QUE LLEVAS DENTRO ES GENIAL PODERLO SENTIR ASI…

  130. there are absolutly no words to describe this song…i like the piano a lot and this is one of my favorite songs…i love twilight..and i almost cried when i listened to this…no hay palabras que describan esta melodia… es una de las mejores!!!

  131. jessica ricco says:

    a musica é leve te traz boas lembranças de dá paz…
    é muito relaxante …

  132. I first heard this in piano class, then later in the clooney/Pitt Ocean’s 11-13

  133. this is an absolutely amazing song. I knew this song way before it came on the twilight soundtrack, and I jumped with joy when I found out it was on the twilight soundtrack!

  134. this is an amazing song!

  135. It’s beautiful! I love it! Claude is a genius,and is amazing!

  136. This left me with my jaw dropped. I simply sat, for five minutes, utterly enveloped in the music. This is truly the greatest and most moving music that I have ever been lucky enough to hear.

  137. Rachel Grace Elizabeth says:

    This song is absolutely breathtaking. When I read that Edward Cullen loved this song in Twilight, it reminded me of how much I love Debussy. He was an amazingly talented composer. His music touches deep.

  138. classicslover says:

    this is really romantic.
    i found a good album of Debussy piano music
    http://www.classicsonline.com/catalogue/product.aspx?pid=4075

  139. Love da song! ^_^ I want to lern how to play it. ***

  140. Simplesmente inebriante! A maneira como nos conduz a uma leveza e a fantasia é divino.

  141. simply breath taking…=)

  142. I love this… All of them infact. Recently started piano, I can only dream that I will one day be anywhere as close to how absolutely amazing and beautiful this sounds!

  143. this song makes my heart burst with feeling and movement

  144. makes me cry. makes me full of passion and movement. Like my heat cries out and sways to the love inflicted on the song

  145. Fabíolla Motta says:

    Não há palavras que descrevam a beleza dessa composição! É MARAVILHOSA! E CLAUDE É O MELHOR!

  146. Dr. Yves Paul M. Montero says:

    This is one of the masterpieces of Debussy…and no wonder its one of the masterpieces in Classical Music.

    A loving and peaceful music… i wonder what’s in the mind of Claude while composing this beautiful moonlight sonata. but i’m sure he is floating under the inspiring luna.

  147. Lynne Mullins says:

    This is a lovely piece of music. I’m very glad it was in Twilight. I have just recently found out that I truly enjoy classical music. The emotions are amazing!

  148. tiomicky says:

    donde esta el amor ahi esta debussy, el amor puro como tal, con todas sus imperfecciones y todos sus malos momentos , pero el amor puro perdona todo eso y escuchando esta melodia sobre todo “claro de luna”

  149. Finally! The person playing this has perfect use of tempo, suspense, echo, and mood. I love it! IS this available to purchase? Mail me please. Thanks.

  163. Judith Ostergard says:

    I am a piano player and was raised on this type of music by my parents. They constantly played this tune. There is no one as good as Claude Debussy. His piano is like candy melting in the mouth.

    aww, la beauté, comme celle-ci, awww seule fois dans ma vie je n’ai jamais senti aussi inspiré! Grace, oh la grâce, la façon dont elle est que vous pouvez peindre un tableau avec seulement de l’ivoire d’éléphants, et l’esprit d’un génie. Quand je mourrai, ce fait doit être connu comme le dernier et le plus grand i morceau jamais écrit. Jusque-là ….

    Adieu

  175. Claude Debussy says:

    aww, beauty like this, awww once in my life I have never felt so inspired! Grace oh grace, how it is that you can paint a picture with only elephant ivory, and the mind of a genius. When I die, this must be seen as the last and greatest song i ever wrote. Until then ….

    Adieu

  176. Claude Debussy says:

    aww, la belleza de este tipo, awww vez en mi vida nunca he sentido tan inspirado! Grace oh gracia, cómo es que se puede pintar un cuadro con el marfil de elefante solamente, y la mente de un genio. Cuando yo me muera, esto debe ser visto como el pasado y la mejor canción de siempre escribió. Hasta entonces ….

    Adiós

  177. Claude Debussy says:

    alas i am great, yet ye cannot say that i am better than the great Beethoven, or Mozart, or Chopin, surely i am simply another note on the never ending spectrum of life.

  178. wow im glad there is a site where I can hear some actual music this is great

  179. THIS IS IN TWILIGHTTT!!! :) )

  180. Quando escuto Clair de Lune, sinto paixão pela vida. Acredito que paixão não é um sentimento triste ou alegre, mas o mais profundo sentimento da alma, o grito mais eloquente de dor a lágrima mais doce de ternura, do ardor da alma ao gélido instante presente.
    Clair de Lune, expressa pura Paixào, tão pura sinestesia e sinfonia da alma, que nem as mais belas palavras podem explicar a sinestesia de tais notas músicais, devido a tamanha força e veracidade que expressa a alma.
    Clair de Lune, pura paixão, ambas só podem ser ouvidas, sentidas, tocadas, degustadas, mas jamais expressadas.

  181. Clair de Lune – Beauty, pure Beauty! I can listen to this forever!!!!! It makes you escape into a place were there is peace and tranquillity. I love it!

  182. from the first notes till the last one, i’ve been paralized, totally involved in this wondrous melody… perfection can be real

  183. Me Encanta me quedoo Cortaa!!! es espectacular me transporto a otra dimension escuchando a Debussy… Definitivamente sin la musica existiria otro motivo para estarlocos!

    me gustan los sitios asi i ps que haya gente tan chevere q le guste tmb esta musik! i eso q solo tengo 15 años me muero por tocar el piano asi

  184. Alexis Navarro says:

    É fascinante o facto da Música ter tanta influência sobre o humor.

    Esta, em particular, acalma-me bastante. É tão doce…

    OBS: Tema usado na publicidade do Channel nº 5 (starring Nicole Kidman). ^^ Reconheci-a imediatamente.

  185. this song is like a dream. Like heaven.

  186. Who cares if it is in Twilight? It’s just a movie. (but, I also like it) Clair De Lune is just a wonderful song, but even more than that

  187. “Frankie and Johnnie”, Ocean’s Eleven”, and “Twilight”

  188. Wonderful! Just when you feel you’re about to unravel, something to bring the sweet things in life back into focus.

  189. Clair de Lune says:

    Bellísima pieza.

  190. One of the most beautiful pieces
    of music ever created. “Claire de Lune”.
    This is truly a gift from God
    for the ears and heart.

  191. Indeed, Vincent. It is really amazing how music can touch us and bring us to a state of communion. We are so different, and yet so alike. Such beauty gets me close to God, for I myself am nothing in such a beautiful universe. Brazilian hugs.

  192. I heard this the first time as a child in the fifties when my mother played this in our home during one evening.

    It was wintertime with guts of winds and rain making their noise against the window glass.
    When I hear this piece it all comes back to me……

  193. gotoshilt says:

    such a beautifull pianoo.. lovee it …. sometimes makes me cry… );
    chopis is good, too. he got Prelude in E-Minor (op.28 no. 4) gb
    hermosooooooooo pianooooo me encantaaaaa una de las mejores que he escuchado tambien escuchen Prelude in E-Minor (op.28 no. 4) es buenisima!! salu2

  194. Uma melodia que nos toca o coracão e a alma vc sente a vibração , o amor existentes em nós belissimo…

  195. I wanted to listen to this because of Twilight….

  196. BranFlake says:

    You should want to listen to this song because of the great tune and how it was geniusly composed; not because of some movie with no plot.

  197. I listen to this every chance I get. Not just my ears but my heart listens too

  198. This is one of my favorites. Softy,romantic and a little sad, but warm my heart.

  199. Mariangela says:

    This is one of my favorites, I can feel power in the sound, my heart is warm and quiet now…

  200. IT MAKES ME SIGH. GREAT REALLY GREAT.

  201. This song features in Oceans 11 when the group stands infront of the Bellagio’s fountain. A lovely song, quite apt for the romantic era of music

  202. cesar erasto says:

    ESTUPENDA INTERPRETACION

  203. ıt makes me happy and power.This is one of favorites.My heart warm

  204. es lo mejor que he escuchado en mucho tiempo.
    se la he mandado a mi marido.
    tengo 23 años y es maravillosa una cancion.
    hace que me sienta mas cerca de mi marido.
    Hace que mi corazón lata cada che un poco mas por él.

  205. Victor Santos says:

    Parece Nocturne! Love! Love!

  206. Eu so tenho 12 anos e ja amo Claude Debussy!!!

  207. Beautiful !! Moves me in so many ways !

  208. Beautiful !! Moves me in so many ways !!

  209. I have always loved this piece. There is something truly magical about it. I feel a deep relaxation when I hear it and the piece builds I feel powerful in my relaxed state. Sounds strange, to be sure, but I love it.
    What’s even cooler is the fact that we almost have the same name. It was meant to be.
    I don’t think I will ever get tired of hering Debussy’s music at all. This piece of music has opened so many doors to classical music. And for that, I am greatful.

  210. This wonderful piece was featured in Twilight. And it really does have that twilight-ish feel.

  211. Emilio Torres says:

    I fell in love with Clair de Lune as a child almost 7 decades and even today when I hear it, I am mesmerized by its beauty and gentleness. How fortunate we are all to bath our senses in such incredible beauty.

  212. hermosa interpretacion en piano y la escuche por primera vez en la pelicula crepusculo que ademas me encanto

  213. DR. Yves Paul M. Montero says:

    this is the music of tears and happiness..the music of love and pain…the music so mysterious and riddle to ears… the message is very vague…but if you look upon the life of the composer…you can comprehend the message of his imaginations and dreams….

  214. makes me feel moist

  215. AMO ESTA INTERPRETACION!!!!!!!!!!!!ME LLEGA AL ALMA,ES HERMOSA!!!!!!!!!!!

  216. Adorooo!Debussy, faz me sentir apaixonada mais e mais por musica classica .

  217. Julliet Debussey says:

    Emilio Torres… I know how you feel. I don’t have 7 decades of great stories or memories but I have about half. I don’t think I will ever tire of this beauty. Nothing has or will ever capture my attention the same way.

  218. I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! ITS SO NICE MAKES ME FEEL RELAXED

  219. I have to say, your playing is exquisite! This song reaches down to my soul…sad and sweet at the same time. I am not, nor have I ever been a classical music person, not for any reason except that I was never given the background to appreciate it. However this song could easily make me one. Beautiful. Thank you.

  220. This song is so beautiful. I hear nothing else when it’s playing, just total peace. I Love it.

  221. tis is one of my favori classic

  222. Debussy was touched by a angel, for sure.

  223. I Have to say thatthis is a very sweet tune to listen to n especially ifu r havin a bad day. it clears my mind n erases everthing from my mind to where im thinking peacefully as if the musiq is speaking to me in a clam way.i feel easy-going n quiet n like i not want to fall asleep,but want to rest my eyes for a heavenly napof sweetness

  224. always takethe timeof day to listen tosomethin seet n worth listenin to

  225. Im not really fan of the classic music but I most to say this is a piece of art , not just because it’s unbelievable, it’s because tell you so much it’s like a true love history , tell you every detail of everyting and i want to think the one artist like him has to be in love to wrote someting that beutiful .

  226. This piece reminds me of light rain drops falling on a sunny day. Children playing on the lawn trying to catch a drew drop with their tonge. A women sitting close by watching her children playing in the rain. With a heavy heart, she dries a tear, for she will never see her lover again and thinks to herself are these rain drops prehaps his tears from heaven.

  227. made in heaven i think always brings tears to my eyes

  228. music is love
    music is sadness
    music is anger
    music is an extension
    of passionate emotions
    felt through vibrations,
    smooth, melodic, harmonic
    playfullness of sounds
    that leaves one trembling
    intense in its own feeling

  229. conoci la pagina por el buscador. esta muy buena y la musica es de primera. muchas gracias y saludos cordiales. !
    gaston

  230. CLAIR DE LUNE …IS MAGIC…NÃO TEM COMPARAÇÃO…PENA QUE MORO EM UM PAÍS..QUE AMA O SAMBA…FAZER O QUE …I DO.

  232. Martha Lugo says:

    Quisiera escucharlos todo el día pero solo puedo hacerlo pieza por pieza. Que puedo hacer?

  233. Beautifully played! I’m learning this for my next recital, and have had many peaceful moments during practice. My family has also commented on it’s beauty. Unique!

  234. marina de oliveira nery says:

    amo demais ,,, cemecei a gostar a pouco tempo , assim que assitir o filme “crepusuclo” .

  235. That´s so fantastic prelud from all the times. When I hear that i feel my hearth full like a baloon calling me to fly with him…
    to the skies… forever and ever. Shame that´s only for a while… by the way, for myself, that moment stands at the eternity.

    Wanna play Debussy with me? Just call.

  236. Great artists, great songs… Really, able to calm a giant, and wake up a little criature… Impossible dont reverence a art as it.

  237. Es una hermosa…melodía…que me llega al alma…me da paz…

  238. AMO ESTA CANCION… EN MI CLASE DE PIANO ES LA QUE PRACTICO Y ME EMOCIONA CADA VEZ QUE LA TOCO…

  239. Is a perfect song for my ears that to listen on my life & my heart shudders.. wow!

  240. maravilhosa…………. ouvi pela primeira vez no filme Crepusculo………. não deixei + de ouvir…… linda …

  241. Priscilla martinez :D says:

    This song makes me so calm all the time. It fun to hear when your all stressed out, but this song is absolutely amazing. It has alot of…. sentimental value.

  242. Exquisit, serene and gentle. Makes me feel as if I’m in the presence of God. What a wonderful gift.

  243. I love this. My mother used to play this on our piano when I was a young boy. Thanks!

  244. bellisima, hace que tenga que dejar todo solo para oirla^^

  245. Extcetera says:

    like, OMG!!! i ALWAYS listen to clair de lune!! it is my all time fav!!

  246. Old Shakey says:

    I have lived seven decades and have enjoyed this tune all my life. Before I retired I used to play a recording of this at work. It is always relaxing. Especially in a busy auto repair shop.

  247. its very beautiful song.

  248. It so wonderfull to hear it very morning, it make me excited to start a new day…..

  249. Pandora says:

    this is a song for the ages, for the romantic night and for the downtrodden spirit. the musical notes are close to the broken-hearted.

  250. GREAT SONG!

  251. This song softens and lifts ones heart. It feels like it came directly from heaven.

  252. 3d Gallery This song played in the approiate place in “Frankie and Johnny” with Al Pacino. Beautiful Song, relaxing.

  253. This song is as beautiful as the people who enjoy it

  254. simply beautiful

  255. Most beautiful piece of music ever written..first heard it at 5yrs old …70 yrs later still my favourite

  256. Miss Clown Feet says:

    This song makes my heart smile. Never imagined my beauty coming anywhere close to this song’s beauty. Thank you. I am grateful for the moments we shared. And for you holding me and I you. Maybe we will find each other again in our own little bit of “clair de lune” someday. Be happy, in all that you do. Okay, so when I am looking for peace, I always find comfort in another favorite of mine, one of Emily Dickinson’s poems that begins with; “Hope is the thing with feathers…”. Maybe it will bring you comfort too.
    Till we meet again. :)

  257. Fátima says:

    Essa música é linda !!! Sempre venho aqui para ouví-la mais uma vez.

  258. I wish you would be available for a performance @ Festival plein 7 in The Netherlands! :-)

  259. E atat de frumoasa…as ascult-o mereu.Debussy..mereu ma linisteste.Imiplace mult aceasta melodie

  260. This is an absolutely wonderful PIECE. I couldn’t imagine how horrible this would be if it were a song…

    Most definitely one of his most renowned imagery pieces, and although quite beautiful and flowing, also quite simple to play. The most amazing thing about it is the fact that Debussy has an extremely simple melody, but the simple arpeggiated harmony adds an unfathomable depth to the piece that is nearly incomprehensible.

  261. Simply HEAVEN, i’m not fond of this kind of music, but this song…. completely changed my mind….

  262. miss clown feet says:

    you race through my mind like a burning flame and instead of diminishing your flame seems to intensify each and every time you steal a moment of my life with my every memory of you. your heart is so beautiful.

  263. bojingle says:

    beautiful

  264. Michael says:

    THIS IS NOT A “SONG.” IT’S A PIECE.

  265. i’m loving both the simply sublime music, and the poetry of Miss Clown Feet.

  266. Miss Clown Feet says:

    I promise to stop stealing moments of your life
    when you stop stealing so many moments of mine.
    Although, I can’t really complain,
    because everytime you steal a moment-my heart smiles,
    along with my lips and sometimes I laugh outloud.
    Just cause the moment makes me happy. I love it.
    Please don’t stop. Now, if you would just hold me-
    that would be my heaven. I promise to hold you close.

    P.S. You mentioned nothing of your heart. How is it?
    And how is mine doing I might add? As, it is you who has it.

  267. Beautifull…the best, brings me piece and makes me love the liFe the way it need to be…wonderfulll…I LOVE IT!!!

  268. This is the best piece of music to hear at the end of a chaotic day. Its a break encapsulated in just a few short minutes.

    We are so lucky to be graced with music – especially like this. It sometimes reminds me of the sunrise, or the way rain makes tracks on the windshield during a down pour as I’m driving.

    The moment is always amazing.

  269. My Mother used to play this for me..(RIP Mom)
    It’s one of my favorites to listen too..
    You’ve made listening to this a real treat! Thank you so very much.
    J.

  270. Julliet said it best …..what a wonderful piece. It can make anyone just want to take a deep breath of fresh air!! Thank you for having the site!

  271. In 1964 my Debussy album was stolen. Even though it was gone, they could not take it from my heart or memory. Claire de Lune has always been my favorite piece and I was thrilled to find it on 1st piano. I have listened to every version I can find and still prefer the solo piano on a Steinway.

  272. Marcelo lópez says:

    Muy buena obra para piano. Suavidad y exelente ensamble sonoro. Excelente!
