Sicilienne Waltz
A gentle jazz waltz breathes new life into this classic melody
Title: Sicilienne Waltz
Composer: Gabriel Fauré/Tim Berens
Description: Sicilienne Waltz begins just as Fauré's Sicilienne began, with harp and flute solo. After the initial statement of the melody, a gentle jazz waltz groove emerges in the rhythm section, brass and strings. This jazz waltz provides a comfortable carriage for Fauré’s gorgeous composition.
Sicilienne Waltz treats Sicilienne with the respect it deserves as a masterpiece of its caliber. The passage in Fauré’s original composition from rehearsal number 5 to rehearsal number 8 is included just as Fauré composed it, which adds a beautiful hug from the past to the arrangement.
The piece ends as quietly as it began.
