About

This arrangement of the much-loved Pavane by Gabriel Fauré for horn octet is an expansion from an earlier arrangement for horn sextet for Sarah Willis and the horns of the Pacific Music Festival in 2016. It was recorded live in its sextet form in 2021 by the Berlin Philharmonic Horns (the recording of which can be found here). 

This octet revision was commissioned by Andrej Zust (also of the Berlin Philharmonic). This arrangement follows closely from the published orchestral score of 1901 for strings, winds and voices. 

The sextet version is also available (DE 0004) from Davis Editions.
