What year did Victor Hugo write the Clair de lune?

Answer 1

This isn't a Classical Music question as Hugo's Clair de Lune is a poem and he wasn't a composer but a writer and poet.

The poem in question comes from a collection called Les Orientales, which was published in 1829.

You may be thinking of Debussy's Claire de Lune which comes from his Suite Bergamasque for piano and is inspired by a Verlaine poem of the same name.

Answer 2

Victor Hugo did not write a piece called "Clair de lune." The piece "Clair de lune" was composed by Claude Debussy in 1890. Hugo is known for his novels such as "Les Misérables" and "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame."
