I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtle-dove and am still on their trail. Many are the travellers I have spoken concerning them, describing their tracks and what calls they answered to. I have met one or two who had heard the hound, and the tramp of the horse, and even seen the dove disappear behind a cloud, and they seemed as anxious to recover them as if they had lost them themselves.
After so many years I found the music I lost.
It's Gabriel Fauré's Pavane, Op. 50. I still can't seem to find a version quite like the one I remember, though, which was very slow and sad. Flute and violin, I think--I always assumed it was Eastern European, maybe gypsy. Closest I've found is the Arcangelos version on iTunes.
There's a choral version with lyrics by the man Proust based Charlus on.
My hound and bay-horse are passages in Tolstoy and Proust that seem not to exist.
