From Dvorak’s Rusalka..

ANNA NETREBKO – SONG TO THE MOON

Silver moon upon the deep dark sky,

Through the vast night pierce your rays.

This sleeping world you wander by,

Smiling on men’s homes and ways.

Oh moon ere past you glide, tell me,

Tell me, oh where does my loved one bide?

Oh moon ere past you glide, tell me

Tell me, oh where does my loved one bide?

Tell him, oh tell him, my silver moon,

Mine are the arms that shall hold him,

That between waking and sleeping he may

Think of the love that enfolds him,

May between waking and sleeping

Think of the love that enfolds him.

Light his path far away, light his path,

Tell him, oh tell him who does for him stay!

Human soul, should it dream of me, Let my memory wakened be.

Moon, moon, oh do not wane, do not wane,

Moon, oh moon, do not wane….

Thank you Esme, for this and lots of other contributions.

Debussy – Clair de Lune

My daughter has been playing this and she plays it beautifully. I can’t share her playing it with you all, so this is the nearest thing to it.

Not sure about the relevance of the Scarlett Johansson montage on this link, but she’s certainly easy on the old eyes.
