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.
