Description
Gabriel Faure
Dolly Suite No.1 Opus 56 Berceuse
Duet for Two Guitars Arranged & annotated for Classical Guitars by Vincent F. Coley

The Berceuse, was a very early piece, composed in 1864 for Suzanne Garnier, the daughter of a family friend. In 1893 Fauré made some small amendments and changed its title from "La Chanson dans le jardin" to "Berceuse" (cradle song).

Although it was written as a piano duet, there have been numerous arrangements of the Berceuse for other instruments and ensembles. Examples include versions for piano and glockenspiel by Evelyn Glennie and for two guitars recorded by Julian Bream and John Williams.

The Berceuse was the signature theme for the long-running BBC Home Service programme Listen with Mother.
