Sicilienne, Op. 78, is a short work by Gabriel Fauré, composed in 1893. It was originally an orchestral piece, written for a theatrical production that was abandoned. In 1898, Fauré arranged the unperformed music as a work for cello and piano, and in the same year incorporated it into his incidental music for the play, Pelléas et Mélisande, in an orchestration for theater orchestra. It took its final form as part of a suite arranged for full orchestra by Fauré, published in 1909. This arrangement is dedicated to Dr. Lisa Read Wolynec, Professor of Flute, in honor of her retirement and 37 years of service to the Department of Music at Austin Peay State University, and commissioned by her devoted students and friends, past and present.

Instrumentation:

• 3 C Flutes
