Sicilienne Op. 78

About this work

Fauré’s Sicilienne Op.78 moves within a regular compound-time sway. In this guitar transcription the upper line must remain connected above bass notes and chords that condense the original accompaniment.

Position changes, barrés and common notes organise continuity. Several rises broaden the register before the opening motif regains its restraint and leads to the coda.

Isolate the upper line before adding the bass. Prepare barrés before their attack, allow common notes to resonate and avoid slowing at every phrase ending: the underlying sway should remain perceptible.
