Dear Elton, This is a composition by French composer Gabriel Faure, and I';m sure there is sheet music for it. I, however have rearranged it for piano, with my own Jazz interpretation of it on the Steinway to Heaven CD. Also, I have two versions of it for Hammond Organ on the BEFOUR CD. It is indeed a beautiful piece from the 1850s. PAVANE is a French contraction of the original Italian ""Dansa alla Padovana," because it was a slow dance form from the city of PADOVA ( PADUA) in Northern Italy.
All the Best BRIAN
