It's like watching a 16 th century processional dance This wonderful and beautiful and comfortable music is unrivaled, and promotes peace and serenity of the soul
I had noticed this on my phone many times but ignored it as very old music. This is absolute magic, indescribable and I have enjoyed it in one go . To me, this music is apt for meditation and I have meditated. What a pleasure to 'listen to ' an indescribable and astounding 'magic'! I have heard about listeners becoming asleep, but meditating while hearing the music? I have learned by experience. Great music. Gracias.
@@monb.2017 To some extent the purpose behind your query is correct: generally, one enjoys what is virtue, what is sublime,etc., when one becomes old. But there's exception to this rule; nowadays even some young people are increasingly discarding what is superfluous and delve deep into many arts, including music, to quench their thirst for knowledge. Sadly you are the only old-timer among young folks happy with what you have. Start hearing all kinds of music and then naturally you will become an aficionado.
This would be ideal, playing softly in the background; on a crisp Autumn day; the trees in full colour, surrounded by friends and family round an outdoor hearth, sipping your favorite adult beverage.
Slow introductory dance, often used to walk onto the dance floor. So one can imagine the bal getting ready to start, then people form couples to take place in the hall when the pavan starts. The dance basic form is : step, pause, step, pause, 3 quick steps, pause. So i'd say one ends up covering 3 meters each 4 mesures. In Canadian french we still use the verb "pavaner" , mostly to say that someone is going around while showing off a bit.
SPOT ON!!!! I have been looking for THIS set of type of instruments and style for a looooong time!!!! I have been downloading lutes and mandarins [spelling?], and the etc.. and HERE was what I was looking for, for 4 years!!! THANKS!!!! Buying the album!!! and you introduced me to this fella.. I am gleeful
No...you were right the first time: Chinese MANDARINS of pre-modern Ming antiquity espoused the musical arts over all others and wielded the mandolin and lute with formidable technique and zeal

@@Ganpignanus ... or unless you were Sir Thomas More. Hank thought of him as his best friend.

It's a lovely compilation. Lovelier still if someone had taken the time and trouble to couple the composers to the pieces we are listening to instead of just listing some of them in the synopsis. I like to know from whose pen doth music comes.
Спасибо, дорогая Ирина, за тёплые слова о моих скромных "Паванах." Ещё в студенчестве я задумал такую программу, и всё думал, делать/не делать. Тогда ещё не было большого опыта. Но сейчас я очень рад, что мне удалось поделиться этой музыкой с Вами! Джаз и рок подождут, их и так хватает в пространстве ))
I love this painting of Henry, Edward and Jane. Why? Because its not accurate! Jane died when Edward was newly born. So her being in this family portrait when she wasn't even alive, is kind of cute!
Actually, such a thing was not uncommon at the time. There is a famous painting of Emperor Maximilian 1st's family from around the same time, and it also shows his deceased wife. This is because these paintings are not meant to be mere "happy family" depictions, but political statements: They represent the dynastic continuity of kingship. So this portrait means: "Here is the King of England, and his wife the Queen, and their legitimately born heir the Prince of Wales. The future of the crown is safe."
It is a homage. Henry always wanted or needed a son to succeed him as King and he loved Jane the most because she gave him the son that two failed marriages hadn't. Henry viewed Jane as his 'truest' wife and the this is why he was also buried with her and not any of the other even later wives. That's why he had this picture painted.
Or maybe the painter just saw the ghost of Jane behind the two others and told himself "Meh. Why not ?" XD But jokes aside, it's a really sweet gesture to put them all together as a family.
Yes, it is a contradiction. It's as if this king was still, to this day, the main character of the time. At least for the person or groups of people who designed the cover.
Pavan or pavane or pavana, was a slow, stilysh and refined dance, especially into European courts. But I find music called pavane is not so slow, specially in the epoch that depicts the album. Ravel's Pavane pour une infante difunte, is something different, far more inspired on a romantic idealization of Medieval images and is elegiac and slow and sad than the original dance music, I find it more related to Faure's Pavane 🤔
@@Pavanesound Yeah, but you have to pay for the premium service. Have no idea about the CD. I guess if you download this video via RUclips video downloader websites and put the file in the CD?
@@Pavanesound I would do that if they did not force me to buy alot of junk next to the two things i want from premium (no ads and screen off while playing video for phone).
@marcinpyt Teen Elizabeth's stepfather also mornings tried to bed romp wake, seduce her as a potential successor to his wife, Henry 8's widow Catherine Parr. This fueled her lifelong distrust of male suitors.
Wonderful. It would be helpful to add the names of the composers--if known. I recognized the Ferrabosco pavan as well those by Dowland. Was the Anthony Pavan by Holbourne?
Thank you for your nice words! This is a physical CD, put on youtube courtesy of Brilliant Classics. If you buy the real album, you will get much more information that what is known about the composers. In the meantime, Anthony Pavan is attributed by some to Anthony de Countie, but some even claimed Antonio Antonio de Cabezón. In any case, certainly not Holborne ))
Lovely music but strange choice of album cover; isn’t that Henry VIII with his son Edward Vi and wife Jayne Seymour? After Edward VI came Jane, Mary I and Phillip, and then Elizabeth I.
It sucks? Yes but the thing is they were dancing and having fun. We on the other hand make recordings of contemporary music that has bass and contrast and then we sit at home and listn. No dancing. Sort of sucks.
I have often wondered about that. In the Midlands there are quite a few Edward VI grammar schools, one of which I am familiar with at Stourbridge. He was committed to the Protestant faith. It is is impossible to speculate rationally about what might have been if he had lived longer, but I am sure that there would have been more schools, perhaps even an Edward VI college at Oxford and/or Cantab.
What if, indeed. What if Arthur had lived, and Henry had never been more than a younger prince, who had to be kept out of trouble? What if both of them had had children, who spent the 16th C plotting against one another? A game of thrones.
You kids need to actually listen to the music, not just let it flow over you. The inner structure of polyphony, the way completely distinct lines of music move together to make harmony, is European culture’s unique achievement, what we developed beyond any other world music. The 16th century was the highest peak of this technique, as heard in the massive choral works like Tallis’s Spem in Alium. The lute was the only instrument that let one player keep three, four and even more melodic lines interacting the way a chorus could. Western music since then has degenerated back to a simple melody with a few chords banging away underneath. Easier to write. Fun for the soloist. Doesn’t demand too much from the rest of the band. ’steeth! We used to be better than that. Open up your ears to something real. Good album, though. Some unusual items.
"You kids need to actually listen to the music, not just let it flow over you." 1. You seem to imperiously assume that the "kids" here don't "think". 2. Sorry, but the Elizabethans, whose music this was, DID "just let it flow over" them, and there's nothing shallow about that. With the exception of certain Elizabethan composers, they didn't analyze their music, they LIVED it, were one with it, be it the music of court, the Church, the street, a tavern, or a harvest festival. An intellectual dissection of music is well and good, but you seem to be totally involved in the "intellectual" at the expense of the human condition and experience. Just as we do today, Elizabethans of all classes responded to music of all kinds, with joy or other emotions, by humming, singing, laughing, weeping, dancing, courting, flirting, tapping their toes, clapping their hands, pondering, praying, etc. Music for them was experienced in the here and now, but it also had a social dimension and connected them to their families, friends, and ancestors. You can study and dissect music until you are blue in the face, but at the end of the day, an uneducated person who nevertheless "feels", can experience music the same as you do, or even more fully than you do in some sense, because they become one with it via heart and soul, and it is those two things after all which intellect - and music - rightly serve.
Black Hermit: It is understandable. This is from another world and another time. It would be like King Henry VIII coming to our century and trying to understand Rap or Rock N' Roll. These people did not live in the fast life like we do. No television, no cell phones, no radio, no recordings. Cool.
@Black Hermit: I was actually thinking something similar. This music is very pretty, but it's also ... I dunno ... boring? It has no drama to it, it doesn't really do anything or go anywhere, it's just kinda ... *there*. Like Gregorian Chant for the lute. But that's OK, sometimes you just want pretty background music.
Yes , these several compilations of early music are most appealing but the times and the images provided don't always match...a small matter though , with such excellent music to make amends

Thanks for sharing. I love the first one with the little drum on the wood of the lute.
Elizabeth I probably was rockin to this music. It's beautiful, relaxing and very emotionally moving.
I doubt that Queen Elizabeth spent much time at relaxation.

Gorgeous, and one of the most moving Lachrimae Pavans I've heard.
Need to write an essay on Hamlet for my masters right now, this music is really getting me in the right mood!

Or maybe the painter just saw the ghost of Jane behind the two others and told himself "Meh. Why not ?" XD But jokes aside, it's a really sweet gesture to put them all together as a family.
What puzzles me is why they chose to illustrate Elizabethan music with a painting of Elizabeth's father.
Boa noiteeeeee gente linda bjsss 😍

People can't seem to get enough of Hank.
One of the commenters asked, "What is a PAVAN?" Well, a pavane is something lovely you do for a dead Princess. Beyond that, I have no idea.
David Collins, A Pavan is a medieval dance.
@@alvindimes4729 or pavan and pavane the same thing? Just spelled differently
