Pavane -- By Faure

<div></div><div></div><div> </div><div>The Pavane in F-sharp minor, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_number" title="Opus number">Op.</a> 50, is a composition for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestra" title="Orchestra">orchestra</a> and optional <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choir" title="Choir">chorus</a> by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France" title="France">French</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composer" title="Composer">composer</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_Faur%C3%A9" title="Gabriel Fauré">Gabriel Fauré</a>, written in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1887_in_music" title="1887 in music">1887</a>. Obtaining its rhythm from the slow processional <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavane" title="Pavane">Spanish court dance of the same name</a>, the Pavane ebbs and flows from a series of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmony_(music)" title="Harmony (music)">harmonic</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melody" title="Melody">melodic</a> climaxes, conjuring a cool, somewhat haunting, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_%C3%89poque" title="Belle Époque">Belle Époque</a> elegance. The piece is scored for only modest orchestral forces consisting of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_instrument" title="String instrument">strings</a> and one pair each of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flute" title="Flute">flutes</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oboe" title="Oboe">oboes</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarinet" title="Clarinet">clarinets</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassoon" title="Bassoon">bassoons</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_(instrument)" title="Horn (instrument)">horns</a>. A typical performance lasts around seven minutes.When Fauré began work on the Pavane, he envisaged a purely orchestral work to be played at a series of light summer concerts conducted by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Danb%C3%A9" title="Jules Danbé">Jules Danbé</a>. After Fauré opted to dedicate the work to his patron, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth,_comtesse_Greffulhe" title="Elisabeth, comtesse Greffulhe">Elisabeth, comtesse Greffulhe</a>, he felt compelled to stage a grander affair and thus he added an invisible chorus to accompany the orchestra (with additional allowance for dancers). The choral lyrics were based on some inconsequential verses, à la <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Verlaine" title="Paul Verlaine">Verlaine</a>, on the romantic helplessness of man, which had been contributed by the Countess' cousin, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_de_Montesquiou" title="Robert de Montesquiou">Robert de Montesquiou-Fezensac</a>.The orchestral version was first performed at a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerts_Lamoureux" title="Concerts Lamoureux">Concert Lamoureux</a> under the baton of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Lamoureux" title="Charles Lamoureux">Charles Lamoureux</a> on November 25, 1888. Three days later, the choral version was premiered at a concert of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9_Nationale_de_Musique" title="Société Nationale de Musique">Société Nationale de Musique</a>. In 1891, the Countess finally helped Fauré produce the version with both dancers and chorus, in a "choreographic spectacle" designed to grace one of her garden parties in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bois_de_Boulogne" title="Bois de Boulogne">Bois de Boulogne</a>.From the outset, the Pavane has enjoyed immense popularity, whether with or without chorus. It entered the standard repertoire of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballets_Russes" title="Ballets Russes">Ballets Russes</a> in 1917, where it was alternatively billed as Las Mininas or Les Jardins d'Aranjuez. Fauré's example was imitated by his pupils, who went on to write pavanes of their own: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Ravel" title="Maurice Ravel">Ravel</a>'s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavane_pour_une_infante_d%C3%A9funte" title="Pavane pour une infante défunte">Pavane pour une infante défunte</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Debussy" title="Claude Debussy">Debussy</a>'s Passepied from his <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suite_bergamasque" title="Suite bergamasque">Suite bergamasque</a>.The World Cup of 1998 featured the theme to Pavane performed by the Wimbledon Choral Society in the United Kingdom; it reached No 20 for one week in July 1998 in the UK Singles chart.The main theme to Pavane was used in the song "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural" title="Natural">Natural</a>" by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S_Club_7" title="S Club 7">S Club 7</a>, released in September 2000. The theme is also present in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xzibit" title="Xzibit">Xzibit's</a> song "Paparazzi".
