The Catalan
composer and vihuela
player Luis de Milan
(1500-1561) ranks among
the most important
composers of the Spanish
Renaissance. His
collection El Maestro
from 1536 was the first
publication of vihuela
music in music history
(the vihuela is a
predecessor of the
guitar). The six pavans
contained therein are
typical examples of the
stately processional
dance. According to the
etymological derivation
of'pavo' (Spanish/Latin:
'peacock'), this
characteristic bird call
which can be performed
freely and
naturalistically by the
saxophoneplayer can
sometimes be heard in
this 'peacock's dance'.
World premiere: 15.2.2017

OBSCUR. Also published by

anglais) and organ (ED
21260).
