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.

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.
