Program Notes

The Pavane originally written in F-sharp minor, Op. 50, is a pavane by the French composer Gabriel Fauré written in 1887. It was originally a piano piece, but is better known in Fauré's version for orchestra and optional chorus. This arrangement for string orchestra was composed in the key of G minor. Obtaining its rhythm from the slow processional Spanish court dance of the same name, the Pavane ebbs and flows from a series of harmonic and melodic climaxes, conjuring a haunting Belle Époque elegance. The piece is scored for only modest orchestral forces consisting of string instruments. A typical performance lasts about six minutes. It is suitable for a variety of performance applications and is for Advanced Intermediate level.
