Composed as incidental music for a production of Maurice Maeterlinck’s play, Fauré skillfully weaves together various compositions, including the enchanting Sicilienne and the captivating Fantasie for flute and piano. The orchestration for the London performance was expertly handled by Fauré’s pupil Charles Koechlin, while Fauré himself later crafted a concert suite from selected sections of the music, adding the Sicilienne in 1909.
