- A video I made with Claude Debussy's Reverie (new video).
Achille-Claude Debussy (August 22, 1862 March 25, 1918) was a French composer. Along with Maurice Ravel, he is considered one of the most prominent figures working within the field of Impressionist music, though he himself intensely disliked the term when applied to his compositions. Debussy is not only among the most important of all French composers; he was also a central figure in European music at the turn of the twentieth century.
His music is noted for its sensory component and how it is not often formed around one key or pitch. Often Debussy's work reflected the activities or turbulence in his own life. His music virtually defines the transition from late-Romantic music to twentieth century modernist music. In French literary circles, the style of this period was known as Symbolism, a movement that directly inspired Debussy both as a composer and as an active cultural participant.
How is it that every time I hear Debussy's music, I start to think about waking up in a beautiful land where there exists flowers of all sorts of colors, waterfalls, kids with happy smiling faces jumping up in a field of poppies, beautiful girls dressed in white gowns. Surely I am in paradise!
And I'm a guy!
Doesn't sound like anything to me
Most people are not moved by beauty. It's a part of human consciousness that takes many years to awaken. When I was younger I only liked loud brash music.
i think you dont get the referecne here :D
This is a masterpiece !!!! Please raise the volume on your computer.
Pthzzz! What? Actually this is what's known as music.
Don’t worry, it’s a reference to Westworld, where this music is used in conjunction with a certain character. He’s not actually voicing a negative opinion to the music.
I had a keyboard when I was 12 and one of the pre recorded songs you could learn was this.
And it has literally taken me 11 years to find it.
And it was just Debussy this whole time?
Smh
Well I'm glad I finally found it!!!!!
One of the most beautiful interpretations of Reverie I've ever heard. Incredibly expressive! Listening to it for third time in a row with with the hair on my neck still standing... you're playing?
Wonderful composition. My second favourite after Clair de Lune. Nice video too.
i'm learning to play this, its soo beautiful, its like my hands just glide form note to note without me knowing whats coming next.
I started playing this when I was 8. The triples kill me, but it just FLOWS!
everything I could ever want or need music to be...
Beyond lovely mystical visual tribute to this ethereal, tender music. Pure poetry--the music and the images--Debussy, I think, would have been touched.
Good evening. Since I was a child... I always loved a good story. I believed that stories helped us to ennoble ourselves, to fix what was broken in us, and to help us become the people we dreamed of being. Lies that told a deeper truth. I always thought I could play some small part in the grand tradition. And for my pains... I got this. A prison of our own sins. 'Cause you don't want to change, or cannot change. Because you're only human after all. But then I realized someone was paying attention, someone who could change. So I began to compose a new story for them. It begins with the birth of a new people and the choices they will have to make. And the people, they will decide to become. And we'll have all those things that you have always enjoyed: surprises and violence. It begins in times of war, with a villain, named Wyatt. And a killing. This time by choice. I'm sad to say, this will be my last story. An old friend once told me something that gave me comfort. Something he had read. He said that Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin never died, they simply became music. So I hope you will enjoy this last piece... very much.
Cease all motor functions.
I was sad to see him written out of the series.
Were these Debussy's words?
@@Smexy_af no, it's a quote from the HBO series "Westworld"
Feels like Undertale soundtracks in that the feelings produced are similar...
This song is absolutely beautiful. So uplifting. I love this recording except that it could be slower. I like to savor every note. :)
I agree. Enjoy and appreciate every second
Bring her back online.
This is played very beautifully! Even after hearing it for many years, I'm still amazed by the imagery this piece brings to mind. Who is the pianist?
+Luc De Biagi It's by Carol Rosenberger
Who's playing? I love this interpretation, its perfect 👌
Los paisajes de la ensoñación, libres de toda contingencia, se desplazan y abren horizontes sin cesar, nada les retiene. Fluyen irrepetibles como la vida misma. Ahí radica su hermosura, en la leve suerte que si les rememora no logra atarlos. Huyen de toda cárcel epistémica. Al encerrarlos se escapan por entre las rejas sin dejar otro rastro que el deseo imperioso de alcanzarlos de nuevo. Peine perdue !

Description by Uncle Dave Lewis
From www.allmusic.com/composition/r%C3%AAverie-for-piano-l-68-mc0002363638
The year 1890 witnessed the first flowering of French composer Claude Debussy's piano music in print, as the Deux Arabesques, the four-hand Petite Suite and, most significantly, the Suite bergamasque all found their way into published editions. Debussy was considerably less satisfied when Paris-based publisher Eugène Fromont issued his piano piece Rêverie from an old manuscript that had been lying about for some time. "I very much regret your decision to publish Rêverie," Debussy testily wrote to Fromont. "I wrote it in a hurry years ago and purely for commercial purposes. It is a work of no significance and, frankly, I consider it absolutely no good."
Debussy's low opinion of Rêverie has not prevented it from taking pride of place among the very best known of his piano works. Debussy's original manuscript is no longer extant, and in terms of dating, that of the first published edition, as reflected above, is generally accepted. But in actuality, Rêverie was composed sometime between 1880 and 1884. As such, it is a milestone, as it represents the earliest known instance of Debussy working in the "impressionistic" musical vocabulary that eventually became his trademark.
The piece starts with a modal accompaniment figure that is started on the weakest beat of the bar. As Debussy's plaintive, simple melody gets underway on the beat, there is a rhythmic instability at first between the two parts. This is further obscured due to the wandering modal orientation of the harmony. The piece does not get firmly on the ground until the sixth bar. Debussy applies his melody lightly, and provides a bare, largely arpeggiated accompaniment that is rich in suspensions such as sevenths, ninths, and seconds. Rêverie is wholly satisfying as a mood or relaxation piece, and unlike the vast wealth of similarly intentioned salon music that also appeared in the 1880s, it does not in the least seem dated.
The first American edition of Rêverie appeared in 1895, and since then the piece has become a popular concert favorite in the United States. The American pianist Harold Bauer helped to popularize Rêverie early in the twentieth century through a rather simplified arrangement of his own, thus establishing a trend toward adaptation of Rêverie that yet continues. Rêverie has been arranged countless times for a wide array of instrumental forces; the version for harp in particular is considered a staple in the literature for the instrument. Jazz musicians have long known the piece, and its influence may have helped to shape the harmonic approach of jazz in general. In 1938, bandleader Larry Clinton recomposed Rêverie into a hit song entitled "My Reverie." In 1974 an electronic version from Isao Tomita's album Snowflakes are Dancing helped to popularize the work even further. Of Debussy's works, Rêverie has exceeded all expectations in terms of its performance within the commercial milieu, the very aspect of the piece that caused its composer to practically disown it.
Debussy is tha shit!!! Luv it! Metalhead here. Only other song i know is of course Clair de lune. Some please post his best tunes, i wanna know more. This is powerful beautiful music, takes you on a journey…
Wonderful video, yet where is the mention of the pianist who's performing this version of Debussy's "Rêverie"? As a pianist-composer, I feel this is a blatant lack of respect for the artist who's recording you have used to create this video. Thanks in advance for correcting this error, and giving the credit which is due to this wonderful pianist!
Im listening to this song by choice, please don't reprogram me right now just beacause you can
What means the word original??? I can't understand you! This music piece is very beautuful, but I believe that any interpretation is original...
Lovely peaceful experience during Coronavirus Craziness. Thank you.
who came after Trace Decay ?
1:24 Roses.. sunrises.. jack daniels.... angels.
hmm something doesn't quite fit lol
the music and the pictures.. Go so well together.. Thank you
Merci beaucoup pour ce titre merveilleux et la belle vidéo! Elle reflète le visage masculin de l'attente rêveuse avec les fotos de femmes; moi (en tant que femme) je choisirais des fotos de l'homme: ses pieds, ses mains, son dos, son profil; mais ce qui nous est commun, c'est le désir que ce rêve se réalise ...
Claude Debussy himself sold this piece to a man, a journalist, I guess, and said it was "poor". When it came to public everyone liked. I mean, how could someone not like it?
But it's funny how the composer sometimes is so much critic with his own productions that he becomes... blind to beautiful things such as this piece.
@44032
lol yes they are.
what I meant was that if life in general where viewed by "THE" self etherally that this is what the end / the new begining would sound like...lol I know,I know, it's kind of hard to explain...nevermind : ) lol but yes my dreams are my own and lol I suppose that we are on the right track.
@44032
OMG!!!
I cant even begin to tell you how often I have thought the exact same thing,
Now I know this might sound odd but sometimes when I listen to this, I day dream that if life was a movie, this would play at the credits to signify both the end & yet not the end ...it would also signify the begining of a new journey yet to come.
Formal compositional techniques have mathematical structures at their base - however the Romantics - and particularly the French Romantics like Debussy tended to concentrate more on melody and mood than rigidly following structure like say, the Baroque and Classical period composers tended to.
@niamh2739 Per my dictionary, "Reverie" means "Daydream: the state of being lost in thought", so I think we're on the right track. The problem with it being a movie, though, is that other people get to see it. My dreams are my own private property and I'm sure yours are, too.
Other Claude Debussy pieces brought me here. I don't know but I haven't heard a piece I don't like.
If I ever get shot in the head by a murderous, sentient robot; this is the song I want to have playing.
I believe there's a debate about that, but there is a compositional technique known as Serialism that was adopted later on.
It uses mathematical values to manipulate musical elements.
WESTWORLD!
this is not the original ! there are no recordings of claude, the sheet music yes but there are no actual recordings of debussy !
Beautiful video, though I find this otherwise nice play a bit too hasty.
I first heard this song in the soundtrack for "All About Lily Chou-Chou", but it's called "Yume" in the album (Yume = japanese word for "dream", or "rêverie" in french).
is somebody able to lead my reading of the melodic line cause it's quite hard to understand how you to interpret it well... but it's amazing!
@Dynamus721 I know right. I played this on the piano and i play it a different way from Claude. I have a keyboard so! Agreed, good and exellent song!!
@CBasie2856 I think about the past, memories flooding at me in a jumble. Maybe not even my emories. Debussy seems like a portal into another time.
Im 13, and im going to learn this song soon.... any tips?? It's a little tricky, I think. The right hand is a little hard witht the left hand counting
this reminds me of my sister that just left for college. she played this piece exactly like how it is in the video.
Yes, Reverie is actually Frech for dream, or in a dreamlike state.
I guess Debussy himself would have liked to see his music married to such a nice and fitting video!
That doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm a guy and I love music like this.
Wake up and see what is going on in this world. WAKE UP!
Beautifull music by Claude Debussy.
Rare Futures brought me here! Their song "Cool My Mind (Reverie)" ends with a cover of the first 1:20 of this track. Recently heard it again in Westworld, and had to find out its origin.
Can you tell me who plays this? Beautiful version, and absorbing images - great video.
@Spanglefeather
Um, the person that wrote this music, Claude Debussy, was a man...
Beautiful video! and of course Debussy magnificent!
I love it ! Thank you for sharing the music and the vidéo !
すばらしい弾き手とすばらしい楽器との「出会い」がここにあります。ドビュッシーが泣いて喜ぶような演奏ですね。
PLEASE, PLEASE! Do you know whats the name of the paint at 3:44? And by who?
There is a game's soundtrack sounds so similar to this masterpiece, any help?
Not shadow of colossus
An arrangement of this song was used in the game Sayonara Wildhearts recently.
@DunNotCome ...listen to Arabesque and claire de lune by Debussy...enjoy...
Takes me away from all this earthly madness!😢
So I was just listening to Mudhoney. Check them out bros!
I play this song... But not that good... I wish I could play like that...
I really like how strange are the path that brought me here, to listen to this masterpiece. One minute I'm watching Westworld science fiction theories and the next minute I'm in another realm with this music.
this reminds me of Gordeeva and Grinkov's 1992/1993 exhibition piece :)
This was beautiful. Thanks for posting. :)
It doesn't take an extraordinary mind, just a different upbringing.
What kind of movie maker d'you have used?.. it is very very good :)
Except that for me, Rêverie calls to my mind colorful pictures
I luv Debussy specially when it is young
Respond to this video... ALSO LUKE I AM YOUR FATHER
Je suis d'accord avec vous, Harlendar.
Like this if you first heard this fantastic piece of music in Dink Smallwood!
Esta piece me recuerda mis dias de niña
Listen to this before sleeping to have sweet dreams...
やっぱ、こっちがええかな～。
I like the gothic/creepy/halloween/ scary images c:
Hi... I am still attached to the music and the video.... somehow it reflects some emotions in me... The mix of the images made me appreciate this theme more than ever.... Thanks for giving us these moments with your imagination put in videos...
Greetings from Chile !
this is best performance of reveire I ever heard
How Arrau could take us there.......
The westworld version deffernt tho
Great song, I'm about 1/3 done learning to play it. On a side note, there's a song by a semi-popular rock group that I'm 99% sure was influenced by this song. The song is "In Reverie" by "Saves the Day". Aside from the obvious similarity in the name, if you listen to the chorus of that song, it sounds like it's based on the repeating motif starting at 1:33 in Debussy's song. Apparently nobody else on the internet has pointed this out, but there's no way it could just be a coincidence.
This music sounds like French abstract art.
Where did you get the photos for the video?
I found them extremely emotional according with this great piece of music.
*damn youtube for eating my words! :o*
While playing this (master)piece you can't help dreaming as well! I play it still a little bit too slow, but I blame it on the fact that I get so carried away ;p
Good Luck! Let me know how it worked out ;) If you want any help, you can always contact me! Mary
一切有為法，如夢幻泡影，如露亦如電。
Doesn't put me in a state of reverie but it does make me emotional. I love Debussy.
Nice but would be better in colour.
i was wondering why didnt debussy record his playing of this beautiful piece on a piano roll (it existed that time). that would be great.
Amazing music and amazing graphics that perfectly match the mood... thank you for this. May music be with you always.
it reminds me of Kingdom Hearts (game)
ive always thought of it as a lullaby
@Aerovistae
Well and sexual organs.
this shit makes me cry lowkey
I've loved this song since I was like 7...thanks to dink smallwood
me gusta mucho esta version!
Debussy imo is just a corner stone to all the music I've ever , and will ever love.
a me sono svaniti tutti i sogni....
GRAN TURISMO 5!
a masterpiece !
By whom is this played?
Piano tiles bring me here ...... I loved this song 😍 so much... so emotional
cyberpunk...20...77...anyone?
Stunning video!
Bravo!
I'm learning this right now. It's so different than anything I've played that it took a few run throughs to understand it and now I'm in love.
