Don’t miss out on composer, author, and educator Rik Hansen’s transcription of Gabriel Fauré’s hauntingly beautiful Pavane. This transcription (a half-step down from the original’s F# minor) includes the music for optional chorus that Fauré added in 1888. This transcription features solos for the flute, oboe, english horn, bassoon and flugelhorn. Cues for harp and string bass are provided throughout the ensemble if necessary.
