The Havanaise in E major (French: Havanaise en mi majeur), Op. 83, is a composition for violin and orchestra based on the habanera rhythm, written in 1887 by Camille Saint-Saëns. It is one of the standards of the classical concertante repertoire.
A minor variation on "Havanaise," as well as the original piece, make up the main theme of the film The Ninth Gate[citation needed] . A brief segment is played many times on the sound track of Rainer Fassbinder's film Effi Briest. The initial phrase also supplies the melody to the popular song Sugartime by Charles Phillips and Odis Echols.
