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.

Composed in 1914, Ravel's sole work for the classical ensemble of
piano, violin and cello was first heard in Paris at the Salle
Gaveau on January 28, 1915, with Alfredo Casella on the piano,
Gabriel Willaume on violin and Louis Feuillard on cello. The work
was quickly recognized as a worthy addition to an already wealthy
repertoire and remains popular today. The score reproduced here was
first issued in 1915 by Durand. As with all PLP scores a percentage
of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music
scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library.
