Make Mine Music segment featured animation originally intended for "Fantasia" using the Claude Debussy musical composition "Clair de Lune" from Suite bergamasque. It featured two egrets flying through the Everglades on a moonlit night. However, by the time "Make Mine Music" was released "Clair de Lune" was replaced by the new song "Blue Bayou", performed by the Ken Darby Singers. However, the original version of the segment still survives. This segment was one of two sections in which Benny Goodman and his Orchestra contributed. Their music played over visuals that were drawn by a pencil as the action occurred. The scene portrayed teens
Paul Verlaine Vasnier"; he also made another setting of Clair de lune, and the poem inspired his Suite bergamasque. Reynaldo Hahn set several of Verlaine's poems as did the Belgian-British composer Poldowski (daughter of Henryk Wieniawski). His drug dependence and alcoholism caught up with him and took a toll on his life. Paul Verlaine died in Paris at the age of 51 on 8 January 1896; he was buried in the Cimetière des Batignolles (he was first buried in the 20th division, but his grave was moved to the 11th division—on the roundabout, a much better location—when the Boulevard Périphérique was built).
