[Bg-dance] Pavanes?

[star7fisher at aol.com]

A tune from the band Cantiga's recordings...unfortunately...it is a cassette tape recording they never converted to CD...sigh.

I'll send you more on Cat's Exchange later.

I don't want anyone to do a dance that hurts, or isn't fun.  I was just curious.  I'm not sure which pavanes other folks are doing, or honestly even if they're still popular these days.
  What's the framework for Cat's Exchange?  When you say "a Cantiga tune" do you mean one of the Cantigas de Santa Maria, or a song the band Cantiga does?  I'm happy to help arrange a tune for it.

Very few.  Many SCA choreographed dances get labeled pavannes incorrectly (Duchess Rhondalyn's for instance), and most pavannes were really just processional dances with little actual choreography.  So we tend to prefer Almans which are also processional but with a bit more choreography typically.  Do you know what pavannes the other groups are doing?
 
Some that we do:
 
Monschaft Pavanne (earliest SCA pavanne to my knowledge)
Earl of Salisbury Pavanne
Could do Belle Qui...just typically don't since I see older knees not wanting to kneel (gents)
 
There is one I would like to teach, that is one I created.  Would you be willing to find/create an appropriate tune?  It is called Cat's Exchange.  I use a Cantiga tune for it, but any Pavanne music would work.

I'm going to let my dance ignorance show a bit- how many pavanes do we typically dance in the barony?  We've fiddled around with Belle qui Tiens ma Vie, which Arbeau has choreographed as a pavane.  What others?  I ask because they're pretty popular in other groups, they should be easy on the knees, and they let the musicians play with some nice harmonies.
