However, the "Claire de lune" segment was later restored after a workprint of it was rediscovered in 1992, complete with original score by Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra, and is included as a bonus feature in some later releases of "Fantasia". The 1953 ballet "L'ange gris" utilised orchestrations by André Caplet ("Clair de lune") and Gustave Cloëz (the other three pieces). "Passepied" has been arranged by the Punch Brothers for bluegrass instrumentation
