for SATB (with divisions) and organ. Maurice Ravel's popular Pavane
pour une infante defunte is here arranged for mixed voices and
organ, allowing choirs to perform this beautiful staple of the
orchestral repertoire for the first time. Rupert Gough's
arrangement sets the words of the 'Requiem aeternam' to the
existing melody, and features a characterful and active organ part
that underpins the sustained vocal lines. The piece has been
recorded by The Choir of Royal Holloway on the album Messe da
pacem.
Bruno Monsaingeon directs this profile of violinist David Oistrakh,

Ravel composed the original piano version of this piece in 1899
after resuming his studies at the Paris Conservatory. It was
published the next year and became an overnight success. Despite
some self-criticism of his youthful work for being "poor in form,"
Ravel thought well enough of it to prepare an orchestral version in
late 1910, which was given its premiere under the baton of Henry
Wood at the Manchester Gentlemen's Concerts on 27 February 1911.
This newly-engraved critical edition will be appreciated by Ravel
fans, students, and conductors everywhere.

was quickly recognized as a worthy addition to an already wealthy
