Author Description

Twilight, one of the most deeply moving times of day, has inspired many great composers. Moved by sadness at the fading of the light, yet enraptured by the beauty of the day's end, composers have written some beautiful and pensive music in response to the approach of night. With Chopin's gentle 'Nocturne in F Minor,' Debussy's Impressionistic "Claire de lune," and Beethoven's evocative 'Moonlight Sonata,' as well as music by Mozart, Delius, and Brahms, 'Twilight' transports the listener into the ephemeral world between day and night.
