Ravel-Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte arr. Weatherson (SP)-V/2M

Pavane pour une infante défunte by Maurice Ravel was written in 1899 and, like many of Ravel's works, later orchestrated by the composer (in 1910). Even though the title translates to English as 'Pavane for a Dead Princess', the composer stated that the piece "Is not a funeral lament for a dead child, but rather an evocation of the pavane that might have been danced by such a little princess as painted by Velázquez".
