About this arrangement

SATB chorus, Piano 4 hands - Grade 2 SKU: CA.1040210 Arrangement for choir and piano four hands. Composed by Gabriel Faure. Edited by Denis Rouger. Arranged by Pierre Albert Kopff. Gattungen vokal: Secular choral music. Full Score. Composed 1887-1901. Op. 50. 12 pages. Duration 5 minutes. Carus Verlag #1040210. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.1040210). ISBN 9790007301866. Key: F sharp minor. French. Text: Montesquiou, Robert de.Gabriel Fauré’s Pavane is certainly one of his most popular compositions. You may, however, be surprised to learn that the premiere of this stylized dance in April 1888 was actually performed in a version for mixed choir rather than the now more familiar orchestral setting or other instrumental arrangement. The text, in the style of Verlaine, sketches the carefree society of the Belle Époque, in particular the various flirtations and dalliances of the dancers. Supplementing the new edition of the version for mixed choir (Carus 10.402/00), Carus is publishing this contemporary version for choir and two piano for four hands. Score available separately - see item CA.1040200.
