Hauntingly lovely: Pavane by Gabriel Fauré

I thought it entirely appropriate for my "Thirty-one days of Halloween" series. If you watch it, you'll see why.

This piece reaches in, grabs my heart and gives it a squeeze.
Willow: A perfect description of its effect.
Lynette, thank you for this gem, it has been one of my favorite pieces of music. I listen to it so often I worry I shall have to replace my CD soon (interestingly, my favorite version is on a Starbucks Christmas CD *how strange is that?*). I also love Fauré's Requiem. Two of my daughters once took part in a performance, I can still hear their voices singing "In Paradisum".
Merisi: You're welcome. I adore this piece, as well as the Fauré Requiem. In fact, Fauré is my favorite Non-German composer. I performed the Requiem a couple of years ago with the Chamber Singers. My only regret was that I wasn't a baritone so that I could sing the Libera Me! (I'll be posting that one in this series as well--be looking for it.)
