Debussy's Suite bergamasque is a prime example of his incomparable skill in conjuring impressionistic visual scenes in music, harking back as it does to the romantic Rococo world of paintings by Antoine Watteau. Claire de lune takes its melancholy mood from a poem of the same name by Paul Verlaine, suggesting a 'sad and beautiful moonlight which makes the birds in the trees dream and sob with ecstasy'.
