Au clair de la lune

Traditional (French)

For tuba and piano

In F major, range C2 to A2

A French children’s song: on a moonlit night the singer’s candle has gone out, so they knock at their friend Pierrot’s door to borrow a pen and write a note. A recording of it made in Paris in 1860 is one of the oldest recordings of a human voice.
