Talk:Pavane (Fauré)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi, someone needs to update that pdf file, it is damaged... if it cannot be fo rany reason, can at least someone post the lyrics... --RexNecros 05:09, 13 September 2006 (UTC) The problem is not the poem which is, no doubt, p.d. but the English translation.
But there is another problem. A pavane is not a passepied even if the key and texture of the Fauré with the Debussy is similar. But I would trace the ancestry of the latter to the Passepied of Delibes from Le Roi s'amuse which is very similar in style, key and tempo if I remember correctly. I don't have time now but I might try to clean all of this up when I do.
If someone else wants to do this, Please feel free.Ed (talk) 01:01, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
