Claude Debussy: Clair de Lune (Moonlight)
Beret
As a child I always enchanted by the melody of
Debussy Clair
de Lune. Now I can say I find it almost ethereal; I can close
my eyes while listening to this piece and let my mind wander.
Clair de Lune became
something more to me when it was used in the soundtrack of the movie The Right Stuff.
I was lucky enough through my father's connections to have met many of the
aviators and astronauts portrayed in the film; to hear their stories of
their flights and when I now hear Clair de Lune I
can almost see what they saw.
The beret is all crochet motifs using metallic,
silk, mohair and cotton yarns. Glass beads and sequins represent
the stars and far away planets and the Milky Way. Circular motifs represent the
moon as well as the silver metallic crescent shapes which light up the sky and
space with silvery moonlight.
