It's a different Clair de lune! The one you're probably thinking of is the piano piece also by Debussy! Clair de lune just means moonbeam...there's another different setting by Debussy as well as ones by Fauré, etc.! :D #TheMoreYouKnow
"Clair de lune" is a French poem written by Paul Verlaine in 1869. It is the inspiration for the third and most famous movement of Claude Debussy's 1890 Suite Bergamasque, so in a sense, the piano solo version also had words. Debussy also composed two settings of the poem for voice and piano accompaniment. The poem has also been set to music by Gabriel Fauré and Josef Szulc.
For clarification-- This is not the same composition as the piano piece named Clair de Lune. While they are both written by Debussy and have the same name they ARE NOT the same piece! Please research before complaining that it sounds different than the piano version.
I think what makes it even more confusing, is that Fauré also wrote a "Clair de Lune" with the exact same lyrics. (I was a bit puzzled before reading your comment, as I was wondering why the music was so different) ruclips.net/video/ODXgZwQjOns/видео.html
@@emmavink Thank-you so much to your wonderful and impressed reply ！ She is a incomparable and exquisite artist , soprano singer . May glory , prosperity and wealth be brought to your country .

this may make be sound uncultured , but I didn't even realize that the classical piece "Clair De Lune" had words, I have heard the instrumental version by Debussy many times and both are as equally beautiful 😀😍 I imagine that it is just that I am not Familiar with this Opera. so pardon my Naivety' 🥵
Find your way through the darkness at the end of the road there's a light always waiting for you When everything feels like an uphill struggle, just think of the View from the top then, let it flop let your wings flap and just fly up above
It is Debussy, from the " Chansons de jeunesse " ! He even wrote an other melody with this text. So yes, Debussy's Clair de lune is also for voice, twice ^^ And this doesn't sound like Fauré at all...
Her legato is insufficiently pursued, she chops the French where it shouldn't be. However, I am NOT a Yende "hater," I saw her give a memorable Zauberflote . . .And the vocal "weight" and type in this song is perfect for her. Wish I could coach her!
You are jealous. You can't stand the fact that a Black woman is on top of a white man's game. Don't worry, look around and you'll see of them. Serena does it, Oprah is doing it, etc. Take a chill and deal...
@@Cebo88 You Americans are so terrible at taking criticism, take it easy, why worry about someone pointing out something wrong with the French articulation. It isn’t a lack of respect and actually shows that he cares about the corrections in the music, and might well greatly admire her singing. I find her musicality wonderful, extremely beautiful, but it’s entirely normal to have technical problems and you shouldn’t become like a hedgehog when someone criticizes something and it can be inspiring given for the singer to read. I understand in America it is encouraged to only make compliments, but that is pretty superficial and in a sense it is even less respectful because you’re not trying to help anyone sincerely. Anyway, with love.
The smile on her face captivates automatically, the joy of her doing what she loves. Something that shouldn't be judged or categorized, just enjoyed.
She is beautiful. That dress, those earrings, that hair, make up flawless. Never mind her soprano. It defies categorisation.
Had no clue that claire de lune had words
Hahahahahaahah

@@athtarasterios9695 both are renditions of the poem by Paul Verlaine!!
Do you know if there is a particular serial number to accompany this in order to find the music easier (not just the piano piece)?
Truly angelic ! God bless.
She really put her own twist on this higher key. It is beautiful. Artistic freedom 💚
I am astounded that this her soprano is incomparable . 🍎
From effulgent Tokyo in profound Japan
From South Africa :) We are so proud of our jewel of a singer!

That end-clapping was something...

I cried

Thank you for listening!
Haunting beautiful. Few know Debussy named this after his daughter, Clair, who tragically went loony.
Wow what a way with words you have 😂
@@ceddrerehau1258 It's nice when people get it.
Debussy's daughter was called Emma....
@@Mel-xm8ud No, I'm talking about the crazy daughter he had to put away... Clair de loon.
@@amaree9732 that never happened hun, clair de lune means moonlight 😂
GREAT

I haven't a clue what she is saying but it sounds very nice.
Find your way
through the darkness
at the end of the road
there's a light always waiting for you

I’m an atheist but her voice almost makes me believe there is a god. Her voice is divine and she is beautiful.
Her collar looks like a strawberry pie.
Hall-marked soprano！Great！
Has she sung the whole set?
I tried to repeat the song, my cat left the room.
Your cat prefers Abba then...
Excuse me clair de lune has lyrics no one ever told me ?!?!?!?!
It's another piece but they have the same name
Vine por los memes y ahora digo
Fino señores 👌😎
Who came here after penthouse😂
HSBC.
sa😄😃😀😃⏲👰🏻
am I racist if I'm thought that her hands were handcuffs at the start?
This is Gabriel Fauré, not Debussy. Both have a "Clair de Lune," but Debussy's is not scored for voice.
It is Debussy, from the " Chansons de jeunesse " ! He even wrote an other melody with this text. So yes, Debussy's Clair de lune is also for voice, twice ^^ And this doesn't sound like Fauré at all...
Ah! How embarrassing! I didn't realize that they both put Verlaine's poem to music. Thanks for correcting my erroneous correction!
"Clair de lune" (2e version)
de "Fêtes galantes" (1er recueil), 1891-1892
Texte : Paul Verlaine (1844-1896)
Did her not using mic??? Anyone can explain
She probably using clipmic
If you look at the video again you can see 2 small mics near her waist
I think she struggles with the french language.
GABRİEL FAURE'NIN ESERİ BU..DEBUSSY DEĞİL..DÜZELTİN DERİM.
Her legato is insufficiently pursued, she chops the French where it shouldn't be. However, I am NOT a Yende "hater," I saw her give a memorable Zauberflote . . .And the vocal "weight" and type in this song is perfect for her. Wish I could coach her!

Beautiful voice but what in the hell is she wearing?
Crystal Price a dress? What the fuck does it look like?
Christmas tree
@@amiraclaire2604 lol
Clearly she has no clue about French melodies. This is not opera...
You are jealous. You can't stand the fact that a Black woman is on top of a white man's game. Don't worry, look around and you'll see of them. Serena does it, Oprah is doing it, etc. Take a chill and deal...
You'll see a lot of them. Black, beautiful, graceful and proud.
Debussy composes like this so :)
Cebo88 he’s right. She is a beautiful singer. She is however chopping off the French in the wrong places.
