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.

Habanera
Formed as part of the popular Mozart y Mambo project by Sarah Willis of the Berlin Philharmonic, the Sarahbanda explores the captivating Cuban dance rhythms in a way never heard before. How? By featuring an instrument not typically included in traditional Cuban band music — the French horn. The sound of Sarah's horn combined with Cuban grooves played by some of Cuba's most talented musicians creates an exciting and passionate group unlike any other. With their exclusive new arrangements of some of Cuba’s best-known songs such as Chan Chan and Sandunguera, original compositions by members of the band, and some classical-meets-Cuban surprises, the Sarahbanda brings a whole new sound — fresh, innovative, irresistible and one you simply have to get up and dance to!
