Faure Pavane String Quartet (2 results)

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