Pavane (Fauré)
The Pavane in F-sharp minor, opus number 50, was a composition for orchestra and optional chorus written by the French composer Gabriel Fauré in 1887. Obtaining its rhythm from the slow processional Spanish court dance known as the pavane, the piece gently but persistently builds up and subsides in turn from a series of harmonic and melodic climaxes, conjuring a cool Belle Époque elegance that can be haunting.
