youtu.be/MUj7NgFHYB0 An orchestral arrangement of Gabriel Faures Op. 78, Sicilienne (1893). Sicilienne translates in English as Sicilian, Sicily being part of Italy, and also the largest island in the Mediterranean sea. This information could give you some idea to what the piece is influenced by, and the soundscape Faure was trying to create. The Sicilienne is also known to be used in 17th and 18th century by composers to be written as music for a dance. Originally written to be incidental music for the french play Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, it was never used for that purpose. Originally being a Piano, Cello piece, it has taken on many forms and arrangements. Let the sweeping theme of Gabriel Faures Sicilienne sweep you into a lovely late Friday morning.
