Description
Journey back to the 16th century with this elegant Pavan based on a theme by the English Renaissance master William Byrd. Arranged for modern brass band by Jean-Francois Michel, the piece maintains the stately, processional character of the original dance while utilizing the rich tonal palette of the brass ensemble. Michel’s arrangement is a tasteful bridge between the Renaissance and the modern era, offering a sophisticated and historically-inspired “color” piece for any program.
