Mélodie passagère - Alice canta Satie, Fauré & Ravel is the tenth studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Alice, released in 1988 on EMI Music.

After the commercial success of the pop albums Park Hotel (1986) and Elisir (1987) the singer changed musical direction and set out on a tour in Italy and Switzerland performing works by fin de siècle composers Erik Satie, Gabriel Fauré and Maurice Ravel in classical auditoriums and concert halls, accompanied by pianist Michele Fedrigotti. The programme which saw Alice mainly performing lyrics in French but also Hebrew ("Kaddish") and Latin ("Pie Jesu") was entitled Mélodie Passagére which translates as Fleeting Melody or Passing Melody and was later recorded in the studio and released by EMI that same year.
