Pavane con Salsa
Title: Pavane con Salsa
Composer: Gabriel Fauré/Tim Berens
Description: Pavane con Salsa begins exactly as Fauré’s original, with a quiet pizzicato shared between the cellos and the violas. Four bars into the piece, a salsa dance party erupts out of the orchestra as Pavane is set to a sizzling hot salsa groove.
The melody, harmony, and form of this arrangement are all Fauré. The groove highlights Fauré’s genius in a unique way. Audience members’ faces always light up when they realize they recognize the melody, but the groove makes them want to dance.
This piece would make a wonderful accompaniment for a group of local salsa dancers to perform with your orchestra.
