Nocturne 07 August, From Cloud To Cloud - Piano Solo

A tune composed from Mikis Theodorakis, a great Greek composer, that accompanied me, in life.

--------------------------------------------------
Μενεξεδένια ήταν τα βουνά
μενεξεδένια τα φιλιά
μενεξεδένια ήταν τα μάτια σου
κατάμαυρη είναι η μοναξιά.

Το τρένο αυτό που σε ξερίζωσε
μου σκίζει πάντα την καρδιά
το σφύριγμά του είναι για μέ λυγμός
το πέρασμά του είναι καημός.

Ήμουν για σένα ο διαβάτης που περνά
ήσουν για μένα το νερό και η φωτιά.

Σε κράτησα μέσα στα χέρια μου
σα νά ‘σουνα μικρό πουλί
με την αυγή γλυκοκελάηδησες
το δειλινό είχες χαθεί.

Κι εγώ στα δάση τώρα τριγυρνώ
μετρώ τα κίτρινα κλαδιά
μετρώ τα φύλλα που ξεράθηκαν
την άμετρη μετρώ ερημιά.

-
Violet were the mountains
violet the kisses
violet your eyes
deep black the loneliness

This train that uprooted you
endlessly tears at my heart
its whistle a sob
its departure sorrow

For you I was a passing stranger
for me you were water and fire

I held you in my arms
as if you were a small bird
with the dawn you sang sweetly
by dusk you were gone

And now I wander the forests
counting the yellow boughs
counting the dried leaves
counting the endless desert

-
Violett waren die Berge
violett die Küsse
violett waren deine Augen
ganz weiß ist die Einsamkeit.

Dieser Zug, der dich entwurzelt hat
zerreißt mir total das Herz
sein Pfiff ist für mich ein Schluchzer
seine Abfahrt bedeutet Kummer.

Ich war für dich der Passant, der vorüberging
du warst für mich Wasser und Feuer.

Ich hielt dich in meinen Händen
als wärst du ein kleiner Vogel
in der Morgendämmerung hast du ganz süß gesungen
in der Abenddämerung warst du weg.

Und ich treibe mich jetzt in den Wäldern herum
zähle die gelben Zweige
zähle die vertrockneten Blätter
ermesse die unendliche Wüste.
-
Fioletowe były góry,
fioletowe pocałunki.
Fioletowe były twoje oczy.
Całkiem czarna jest samotność.

Ten pociąg, który wyrwał cię,
rozrywa mi zawsze Serce.
Jego gwizd jest dla mnie szlochem.
Jego odejście jest smutkiem.

Byłam dla ciebie przechodniem, który mija.
Byłeś dla mnie wodą i ogniem.

Trzymałam cię w moich rękach,
jak byłbyś małym ptakiem.
O świcie słodko zaśpiewałeś,
o zmierzchu zniknąłeś.

A ja włóczę się teraz po lasach.
Zliczam żółte gałęzie.
Zliczam uschnięte liście.
Odmierzam niezmierzoną pustkę.

Composer: MANOS HATZIDAKIS

Το βράδυ σπίτι μου γυρίζω
κυνηγημένη σαν πουλί, 
μες στα σεντόνια μου αντικρίζω
το θάνατο που με καλεί.

Κρύβω στα χέρια την καρδιά
παίρνω απ’ τις πόρτες τα κλειδιά, 
και προσπαθώ να του ξεφύγω
κρυφά σαν τα μικρά παιδιά.

Κυλώ σαν δάκρυ στη σιωπή, 
μέσα στου κόσμου τη ντροπή, 
και σαν τα ρούχα μου ξεσκίζω
γυμνή μ’ αρπάζει η αστραπή.

Στους δρόμους σύντροφο γυρεύω
μια μπάντα παίζει το ρυθμό, 
σκίζω τους τοίχους και χορεύω
να βρω τον άγνωστο αριθμό.

Κοιτάω μ’ ελπίδα μια φωτιά
που ανάβει έν’ άστρο στο νοτιά, 
άραγε να ’ναι ’κει το φως μου, 
το φως ή η ατέλειωτη ερημιά.

Φοβάμαι του όχλου τη χολή
ένας τυφώνας με καλεί, 
η αγάπη χάνεται στη μνήμη
κι εγώ χορεύω σαν τρελή.

Χορός Με Τη Σκιά Μου (Dancing with My Shadow) - Piano Solo

Claude Debussy’s Clair de Lune is the third movement of his Suite Bergamasque, written for solo piano and completed in 1905. The title, meaning “Moonlight,” is inspired by Paul Verlaine’s poem, evoking a serene and reflective atmosphere. The piece epitomizes French Impressionism, focusing on mood and imagery over traditional form.
Structure and Atmosphere

The piece is in ternary form (ABA):

    Opening (A):
    A soft, flowing melody emerges over delicate arpeggios. The music feels weightless, like moonlight shimmering on water. Debussy uses rich harmonies and seventh chords to create a dreamlike quality, with a tender, introspective mood.

    Middle Section (B):
    The dynamics intensify, with fuller textures and soaring melodic lines. This section brings a sense of emotional depth and urgency, contrasting with the calm opening. Arpeggios cascade dramatically, giving the impression of moonlight suddenly brightening or revealing hidden beauty.

    Closing (A):
    The opening material returns, slightly varied, fading into a gentle, whisper-like conclusion. The piece ends as quietly as it began, leaving a sense of stillness and wonder.

Musical Features

    Harmonics: Debussy’s use of whole-tone scales, parallel chords, and non-functional harmony creates a suspended, ethereal soundscape.
    Melody: The lyrical melody floats effortlessly above the accompaniment, expressing both simplicity and emotional depth.
    Texture: Light, transparent textures alternate with moments of lush, resonant fullness, embodying the interplay of light and shadow.

Mood and Interpretation

Clair de Lune evokes the quiet magic of a moonlit night, combining serenity with subtle melancholy. Its poetic quality invites listeners to imagine moonlight reflecting on a calm lake, whispering through trees, or illuminating a tranquil landscape. The music feels timeless, blending stillness with fleeting moments of intensity.

Cultural Impact

This iconic piece has been widely used in films (Ocean’s Eleven, Twilight) and pop culture, often accompanying scenes of romance, nostalgia, or quiet reflection. Its universal appeal lies in its ability to evoke deep emotion while remaining understated.
Performance Notes

Expressive dynamics, fluid phrasing, and careful pedaling are essential to capturing its delicate atmosphere. A balance between freedom and control ensures its dreamlike flow remains intact.

Clair de Lune is a masterpiece of impressionistic music, celebrated for its ability to transport listeners into a realm of quiet beauty and introspection.
