The Claudes in My Life

Two of my favorite things in life: classical music and impressionist art.

Song of the week: Clair de lune (meaning "moonlight" in French) by Claude Debussy, 1905

(Fun fact: This song's name comes from the poem Clair de lune by French poet Paul Verlaine.)

And happy 172nd birthday to Claude Monet yesterday! Don't you wish you could join these girls in their afternoon stroll through the poppies?
