The suite, orchestrated by Faure in collaboration with his pupil Charles Koechlin, includes some of his best-loved music. The Prelude features a theme representing Melisande, who is very much the focus of the incidental music; her theme gradually gets louder and more passionate, and a sinister-sounding bass accompaniment hints at the forthcoming tragedy.
