Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) composed incidental music for PELLÉAS ET MÉLISANDE, a play by Maurice Maeterlinck, in 1898, including in the music the short SICILIENNE (Op. 78) that he wrote for an abandoned theatrical production in 1893. While the incidental music was orchestrated for a theater orchestra (by fellow composer Charles Koechlin), Faure later produced a three-movement suite for full orchestra in 1900. Finally, approximately a decade after the three-movement suite was produced, Fauré added the Sicilienne as the third movement to create the four-movement suite with which we are familiar today. While the incidental music premiered on June 21, 1898, in London at the Prince of Wales Theatre, Gabriel Faure conducting, the three-movement suite premiered on February 3, 1901, at a Concerts Lamoureux in Paris, Camille Chevillard, conductor. Movements: 1. Prélude; 2. Fileuse; 3. Sicilienne; 4. La mort de Mélisande. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 4.2.0.0: Timp: Hp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set). Reprint edition. Study score.
