Au clair de la lune
Warren
Does anyone have a copy of the piano music to Debussy's "au clair de la
lune." If so could you fax it to me here in London on 0171-916 2553.
Does anyone in North London think that he/she might like to try playing
piano duets with me? I passed Grade 8 many years ago and, when my wife
allows me to play, I still practice the piano.
Many thanks,

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but as I have been speaking French for about two
decaades, I suspect you are mixing up Debussy's classic "Clair de lune"
for an old French children's song in 4/4, called "Au clair de la lune"?
The latter whose text follows (IIRC):
Au clair de la lune
Mon ami Pierrot
Prete-moi ta plume
Pour ecrire un mot
Ma chandelle est morte
Je n'ai plus de feu;
Ouvre-moi ta porte
Pour l'amour de Dieu!
It lasts about 0:30. :)

Pity there are no music stores in London. How uncivilized.

What is the difference? (In name, I mean, I know the difference
in the music.) "Moonlight" vs. "By the light of the moon" is my
guess, but I've never studied French so what do I know?

As long as I'm guessing at French, let me try the above:
By the light of the CRT, my r.m.m.p friend,
Please give me your keyboard, so I can write this post:
The big ship is dead and I don't have that song about it;
Please send it to me for the love of God!
Yeah, I think that's it.

I guess the difference is that one is a classic and the other a nursery song. If
everybody who posted to this ng signed Blue Rainy Skies it might make things a little
confusing.

I thought I was pretty clear that I was talking about what the titles
mean (exactly -- obviously both have something to do with moonlight)
in English. Not the music.

And if everyone who posted here signed "Tom Shaw" that would also
make things confusing. I am not sure I see your point.
Ob. Piano: Would it be correct to refer to the action of a typical
upright as an Erard type? Or is that term specific to the grand?

The folk song speaks of a young man who wants to borrow his friends quill pen,
for he longs to write. Well, most young students do not have the faintest idea
of what a quill pen is so I use to have one (a decorative one in an ink jar)
and that provided a good lesson in how people long ago wrote. And how they
wrote by candel light. There are so many ways we can stretch their minds
beyond the music lesson. If there is a word they don't know I say, do you have
a dictionary at home? Look it up and bring the definition in next week.
