I think this is a mis-translation from the original French. The real 
title is "Pavane pour un enfante defunte" (sp.?) and it is translated as 
"Pavane for a Child Princess". If Alastair were on line, I'm sure he 
could tell you more - we played the piece with our brass quintet, 
Fundamental Brass, a few months ago.
