🎹🌙 Claude Debussy – Clair de Lune (from the Suite bergamasque)
Orchestration by Leopold Stokowski 🎻
Philadelphia Orchestra · from Fantasia (1940)
•
The Clair de Lune you just heard is only one movement of the Suite bergamasque; almost no one recognizes the others, and this was the one that broke free of the set and traveled the world. It was precisely that fame that drew Disney in. Fantasia was a rare project for its time: a full animated feature built entirely on orchestral pieces, with conductor Leopold Stokowski leading every number, giving a face and an image to music the wider public had until then known only by ear.
•
Play the recording again with care and listen to the finish of the strings: they slide from one note into the next without a break, a continuous legato the keyboard alone cannot produce. That gliding is what gives the image its look of moonlight held still in the air. Stokowski lifts the mood with almost no percussion and lets the high strings rise slowly, each chord held until it dissolves into the next, the sound still hanging when the following one has already begun.
•
Leading the orchestra on this recording is Leopold Stokowski, conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra. His baton governs the climb of the strings and the entry of the silence, shaping the mood that holds the whole moonlit scene together. The heron animation was directed by Samuel Armstrong. The pulse Stokowski gives the orchestra sets the rhythm of their flight on the screen. The version you heard is this recording, made for the film itself.

Mark Zuckerberg has a plan—a plan to please President-elect Donald Trump.

As Big Tech scrambles to placate Donald Trump before he reassumes office, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Tuesday that his company would replace their fact-checkers with user-generated Community Notes, beginning in the United States and then rolling out globally. Zuckerberg said in a video and in an announcement on Threads that the shift—largely the same system that Twitter/X uses—represented a return to the company’s roots and way of “restoring free speech.” He acknowledged, however, that the change “means that we’re going to catch less bad stuff,” adding, “but we’ll also reduce the number of innocent people’s posts and accounts that we accidentally take down.”

Zuckerberg also gave Trump a specific shoutout in his Threads announcement, writing that the company will “work with President Trump to push back against foreign governments going after American companies to censor more.” Even as the incoming president and his allies threaten news outlets, the United States, Zuckerberg argued, “has the strongest constitutional protections for free expression in the world and the best way to defend against the trend of government overreach on censorship is with the support of the US government.”

The New York Times reported Tuesday that incoming Trump administration officials were given a heads-up about the new policies before they were announced. As they were being rolled out, Meta’s chief global affairs officer, Joel Kaplan, sat for an exclusive interview on Fox and Friends. Kaplan called the new setup “a great opportunity for us to reset the balance in favor of free expression.” The third-party fact-checking system, Kaplan told the beaming Fox hosts, “had too much political bias in what they choose to fact-check, and how.” Kaplan added that people want to “discuss and debate” topics like “ immigration, trans issues [and] gender.”

Zuckerberg’s announcement comes shortly after Meta announced that it would donate $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee, part of a round of Big Tech companies who are doing the same.
