My father asked for Clair de lune to be played at his funeral. He also loved classical guitar and used to play for us as children instead of bedtime stories. I have been looking for an arrangement of Clair de Lune to play at his service this Saturday. I just found it. Beautiful arrangement,technical brilliance, expressively and tenderly played. Thank you.

[@kof3017]

Did you play it?

[@francoisona]

The most extroardinary guitar version of Clair de Lune I have ever heard . So unbelievably faithful to the piano version. I don't think that this piece can exist as a solo guitar version in any other way than this way . Thank you for this gift!

[@uneedtherapy42]

+francoisona excellent comment and I totally agree... the only version I have ever heard that comes close to this Angel Romero's.

[@joemacsa]

The great Ida Presti and her husband Alexandre Lagoya recorded an excellent version for guitar duo in the nineteen sixties.

[@mpadierna]

Well, back in the fifties or sixties, Laurindo Almeida recorded this piece for CBS Masterworks. Not the samba version. He was accompanied by himself, because it was recorded on two tracks. That sounded extraordinary. Unfortunately there's no evidence of it.

[@alessandrocannavacciuolo3392]

Please, hear Mario Parodi's version of this piece. Not only extraordinary transcription but he is a great guitarist

[@armandogonzalez7379]

In Turkish when a person has prepared food for you, you wish them, Eline saghlik, "Health to your hands". That takes on a new meaning here with a master artist. Thank you for such a beautiful rendition, and may God give health to your hands. And joy to your soul.

[@vincentlewis8076]

nope, this piece was modified to fit the guitar. thus its an arrangement.

[@RageHole]

Sounds like the jury's out: simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_(music)

[@elekiehmlaiz4431]

Pretty much this transcription was transcribed and arranged into this arrangement for the guitar so that the frequencies emitted, while playing the rendition of this piece, vribrate to a proper resonance; Doing the most justice possible so that it resembles the sensations that would be given to the listener otherwise by the original intended conveyance of the composed masterpiece by its creator. SO your both right. Tomato... Tamato... Same difference The real identifying distinction is in the taste when it comes down to it. And the flavor of this rendition in particular is very tasty x) Gourmet grade lol

About 2 years ago, I purchased for sheet music of E.Satie-Gymnopedie 1. I was amazed by the simplicity of reading the notes. I have just purchased for 5 songs and I am very excited. I will have one song very soon. I forgot to put check for it. It will be E.Granados-Spanish Dance 2 “Orientale”

You're breaking my heart and filling it up with joy at the same time. This is beautifully done. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@crazyredtina]

Absolutely amazing how you were able to bring the emotion of this song to life with guitar. I used to play this song for my unborn son when he was restless. He has passed and Clair de Lune always makes me feel close to him. Thank you for such beautiful work.

[@isaacfeuerberg7913]

I just purchased the score of Claire de Lune. The arrangement is very well written. It is an excellent transcription. I am very satisfied.

[@Maffoo]

The thing about an arrangement like this is that, although the actual "shapes" / fingering of the notes are not that impossible, the real beauty of it comes from the expression and (I think it's called) rubato in the playing. Just makes it so beautiful and powerful. Great playing.

[@evl457]

+NaiveAmoeba right! This looks do-able

[@oliverfrench467]

pro tip, rubato means stolen. so playing rubato is basically playing like someone's paying you by the minute.

[@TheMDGeist66]

At 40 I decided to pick up the guitar. My instructor asked me what my goal was in music. I told him I wanted to play this song. He gave me a really funny look. Now I know why. I might be able to play this when I am 60 lol. Great job on this beautiful piece.

[@lilysung]

Classical guitar is a very rewarding instrument and I'm glad that you decided to pick it up! It's never too late to start. Persist and I'm sure your dream will come true soon. Btw It's a piece not a song.

[@evl457]

+PrimWhisperer yes, i think it won't take 20 years either. If you're starting totally from scratch, 2 years?

[@TRUEMANOFLORD]

This is seriously an incredible arrangement. I bought the music months ago, and after infinite practice, can play through much of it smoothly, and it sounds beautiful. Very difficult, but the included tabs underneath the actual sheet music make life so much easier (while still having the benefit of seeing the how the music was written!). I've never delved into their lesson program, but being able to reference the music to this video is a big help too. Love these guys.

[@PlasticBro]

[@robertmudriczki7055]

Studying this performance as a living example of universal beauty should be a compulsory segment of any curriculum.

I'm on page 7 of 10 in memorizing this arrangement. Practicing it is like meditation. And people that complain about the price have no idea about the value of this transcription. No price on inner peace/escape. Purchase. Learn. Travel.

[@johnpierson8398]

The beauty and otherworldly elements of this composition are so great to hear on a classical guitar! I love piano and there are so many great performances of this song played on piano. I am a guitar player who studied classical guitar in college. But I have since then strayed into many types of other music. Hearing this performance really touched my nascent love of this song and classical music. What a joy to hear this! Bravo!

[@xXcutiepieXx14]

I listen to this song some nights to relax me, but only after rough days. I have never heard it played on classical guitar; what a present surprise to find this gem of a video. wonderfully and most beautifully composed and executed.

素晴らしい！この曲をギターの独奏で聞いたのは初めてです。ギターでも味わえる曲なんですね。ドビュッシーがギターの曲を作曲したかったというエピソードを聞いたことがあります。でも、ギター曲は、相当弾ける人でないと作曲ができないので、当時の高名なギタリストに協力を依頼したところ、どういう訳か断られてしまったとのことです。そのギタリストが断ってなければ、今頃ドビュッシーのオリジナルのギター曲が聴けたのだと思うと、ほんと悔やまれますね。そんなことまで思いを馳せてしまうほどの演奏でした。

[@uneedtherapy42]

My obsession with Debussy has returned.... if you listen to the piano version of this tune (especially Walter Gieseking's version) you will fully comprehend the genius of this arrangement for guitar.

[@eduardo-hl2rx]

I just purchased the score of Clair de Lune last week. This is a great arrangement that captures the essence of the original piano music. The score and the tabs are nicely presented. I enjoy playing this arrangement very much

[@Aaronontheradio]

The thing I keep reading in the comments is "most beautiful thing I have ever heard." That is great...but if you k ow what the song is about, water playing with the wind and how it ripples on the beach, then the visual of this takes you on a journey too. His finger motions play the notes but dance like the water in the wind with each note.

[@gokhandemirhan9067]

In my opinion, Emre is the best guitarist when it comes to separating different parts of the piece. I mean emphasizing the main melody, tuning down or up the accompaniments and the base lines. He's a perfect player and arranger, but also the best conductor whose orchestra is just six strings.
