Bärenreiter’s new scholarly-critical edition of Gabriel Fauré’s evergreen, the Pavane op. 50, has been edited by Robin Tait as part of the “Complete Works of Gabriel Fauré”.

The popularity of the work is mostly attributed to its many arrangements but the original version for orchestra is being published here for the first time. Shortly after completing the orchestral work, Fauré began work on a version for choir, which was actually premiered before the orchestral version.

This new Bärenreiter edition offers conductors and orchestras a reliable Urtext edition of the “Pavane’s” original orchestral version which will surely enhance symphonic concert programmes everywhere.
