About
Written in 2010 by Zoë Booth this piece is a lively jazz waltz version of Fauré’s famous Sicilienne for flute from Pelléas et Melisande, op. 78! A great novelty piece with energy and swing, which features showy sections which sound like improvisation. The central section by contrast is smooth and calmly played over rich harmonies.
