Gabriel Faure: Pavane (2-Part)

Faure's Pavane embodies the clarity, balance, and serenity of the Renaissance dance form as well as the subtle colour and shading of French music at the end of the 19th century.

Written in 1887, the piece was originally scored for Cello and Orchestra, the piece was later adapted to include miming, dancing and an invisible Choir in 1891.

The Pavane subsequently formed part of the Ancient Dances display at the paris Opera in 1895 and was also choreographed and performed by the Ballet Russes.

Arranged for 2 part Treble Choir and Piano accompaniment by Doreen Rao.
