Clair de Lune — Claude Debussy

Debussy's 1905 piano miniature from Suite bergamasque stands as the most vividly evocative depiction of moonlight in music, selling over 2 million recordings since 2000. Its impressionistic harmonies and delicate arpeggios create a hazy, luminous texture that has made it the #5 most-streamed classical piece on Spotify. The work's influence on film scores like 'The Pacific' surpasses even the reach of Pachelbel's Canon in D (#7) in cinematic usage.
