This is an arrangement for organ of the first piece of "The Dolly Suite" Op. 56.
Fauré wrote or revised the pieces between 1893 and 1896, for Hélène Bardac (1892-1985), known to her family as Dolly (she was later Madame Gaston de Tinan. She was the young daughter of the singer Emma Bardac, with whom Fauré had a long-running affair. He was in the practice of sending pieces of music, in manuscript, to mark Dolly's birthdays and other family occasions.
