Gabriel Fauré - Pavane in F-sharp minor, Op. 50.

The Pavane in F-sharp minor, Op. 50, is a composition for orchestra and optional chorus by the French composer Gabriel Fauré, written in 1887. Obtaining its rhythm from the slow processional Spanish court dance of the same name, the Pavane ebbs and flows from a series of harmonic and melodic climaxes, conjuring a cool, somewhat haunting, Belle Époque elegance. The piece is scored for only modest orchestral forces consisting of strings and one pair each of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, and horns. A typical performance lasts around seven minutes.

@amadeus5889 I can't help but think of the funeral march from Beethoven's third.

Whenever I hear or see F Sharp Minor, I immediately think of the slow movement of Mozart's 23rd piano concerto. So melancholy and hurt, yet songful. Fauré achieves the same effect here, but through dance. Beautiful but lovesick music.

@SportsFreakfrom94598 So why this comment ? What happened ? Was this played at your friends funeral ? Sorry not mean to be disrespectful, just curious ... if so one can't choose a better classical piece for drama then this one, leave the drama to the Italians :-)
