According to the Oxford Reference, a sicilienne is a "type of (...) instr. piece, presumably of Sicilian origin" that's characterized by a slow, "swaying rhythm, often in minor key (and) usually pastoral in character". Well, here is the gentle sway of three siciliennes composed with that scheme in mind

"Prince Igor is an opera in four acts with a prologue. It was composed by Alexander Borodin. The composer adapted the libretto from the East Slavic epic The Lay of Igor's Host, which recounts the campaign of Russian prince Igor Svyatoslavich against the invading Polovtsian tribes in 1185. The opera was left unfinished upon the composer's death in 1887 and was edited and completed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Glazunov. It was first performed in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1890." (source: Wikipedia)
