Pavane pour une infante défunte

(Pavane for a Dead Princess)

by Maurice Ravel – arranged for wind orchestra by Robert Lennon

Elegant and mournful, Ravel’s beloved Pavane finds new voice and is given new depth in this rich and expressive arrangement for wind orchestra. The luminous orchestration highlights horn and oboe soloists, whose lyrical lines float above gently pulsing harmonies and hushed textures.

Graceful pacing and nuanced phrasing make this an ideal centerpiece for a reflective concert moment, offering both emotional depth and soloist showcase.
