Suite bergamasque movement of "Suite bergamasque" is Clair de lune, in D major. Its name comes from Verlaine's poem "Clair de lune", which means "moonlight" in French. It is written in meter, marked "andante très expressif", and to be played mostly "pianissimo". It is not to be confused with the two settings of the poem made by Debussy for voice and piano accompaniment. The final movement is Passepied in F minor, "allegretto ma non troppo". A passepied is a type of dance which originated in Brittany. Debussy's "Passepied" is a happy, strangely medieval piece, which is surprisingly faster than its Baroque counterparts.
