A passepied is a type of dance that originated in Brittany. This movement is fast and light, with the left hand playing an almost continuous quaver accompaniment. The movement includes the use of 3 against 4 polyrhythm. Arrangements Suite bergamasque has been orchestrated and arranged by many people, both for concert performance and for use in other media. In particular, "Clair de lune" has been arranged for a wide variety of instrumental combinations, including notable orchestrations by André Caplet, Leopold Stokowski, and Lucien Cailliet. "Clair de lune" was originally intended to be included as a fully orchestrated piece in the 1940 Walt Disney animated film Fantasia. However, due to runtime issues, it was eventually not included in the final cut of the film. Instead, the footage for its intended segment (featuring herons in the Florida Everglades at night) was recycled for the "Blue Bayou" segment of the subsequent film Make Mine Music. However, the "Clair de lune" segment was later restored after a workprint of it was rediscovered in 1992, complete with an original score by Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra. It is included as a bonus feature in some later releases of Fantasia. "Passepied" was arranged by the Punch Brothers for bluegrass instrumentation for their album The Phosphorescent Blues. A synthesizer arrangement of "Clair de lune" was used at the Closing Ceremony at the 2020 Summer Olympics on August 8, 2021, as children prayed for peace and as the Olympic Flame was put off. This was the version produced by the Japanese electronic music pioneer Isao Tomita for his 1974 album Snowflakes Are Dancing, consisting of arrangements and renditions of compositions by Debussy, including Passepied. In the video game Sayonara Wild Hearts by Annapurna Interactive, the first level is titled "Clair De Lune", and the level's music uses samples from the respective movement.
