Mélodie au crépuscule is a French gypsy jazz tune written by Django Reinhardt with lyrics by Lawrence Riesner. It was first recorded and released in 1943 by Django Reinhardt et son orchestre, with the Paris studio session dated July 7, 1943. The original recording features Django’s guitar with his ensemble and runs about 2 minutes and 57 seconds. The piece is associated with the Hot Club de France era and has since become a standard in the gypsy jazz repertoire. The song has been covered by many artists and groups over the years, including Capelino featuring Stéphane Grappelli in 1993, The Rosenberg Trio in 2007, and Ann Savoy & Her Sleepless Knights in 2007, among others.
