Gabriel Fauré: Pavane Op.50: Guitar: Instrumental Work

Gabriel Fauré's Pavane Op.50 is arranged here for Clarinet Quartet by Armando Ghidoni. This is the Score and Parts.

The music of small forms was to become the focus of the French composer Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924). In 1874 after many years spent in the 'provinces' the teacher of Camille Saint-Saëns took the position of organist in Paris; later he worked not only as a church musician but as a teacher as well. In the summer of 1887 Fauré wrote his Pavane Op. 50 originally intended for a concert providing light entertainment which soon gained wide popularity as an orchestral setting without and with the chorus added by Fauré. The romantic slightly melancholy melody is a catchy tune which thanks to the present arrangement can now also be played on the piano.

Par FAURE GABRIEL. Fauré?s ?Pavane? was composed for orchestra in 1887, followed by a version for chorus and orchestra in that same year. Three decades later Serge Diaghilev had it choreographed for his Ballets russes ? a sign of its great popularity. ?Pavane? exudes the spirit of Paris?s fêtes galantes at the turn of the century. A version for solo piano appeared in 1889; it was most likely prepared by Fauré himself, who performed it several times and even recorded it for player piano. Our Urtext edition is based on the musical text from ?Gabriel Fauré ?uvres complètes?.
