Pavane for String Orchestra [Alf:36-M800401]

The Pavane, Op. 50, is by French composer Gabriel Faurİ written in 1887. It was originally a piano piece, but is better known in Faurİ's version for orchestra and optional chorus. 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 ‰poque elegance. This version is arranged for String Orchestra by Carl Simpson.
