Samantha,

Although I know much of the recorded music from the various
Herman "Herds" fairly well, I can't remember whether the "Pavane" you
refer to was the Faure or Ravel. If it was Faure's "Pavane," there is a
very tasteful arrangement for clarinet and piano by Sidney Lawton
published by Novello. I recommend it highly.
