[Note. According to the Spanish Academy, pavana (found in D. Pisada 1552) is a derivative of Sp. pavo peacock, ‘in allusion to the movements and ostentation of that bird’; so Chambers 1727, from Dict. Trévoux 1721, ‘a grave kind of dance, borrowed from the Spaniards, wherein the performers make a kind of wheel or tail before each other, like that of a peacock: whence the name’; so in M. Compan, Dict. de la Danse 1787, Littré, etc. See also Elyot's Governor, ed. Croft, I. 231, 241 notes, Gloss. II. 580; and cf. the German name Pfauentanz ‘peacock-dance’. Others have attributed to the dance an Italian origin, and viewed pavana as reduced from Padovana ‘Paduan’ (which occurs in A. Rotta 1546); a 17th c. MS. collection of airs and dances by Dowland, Holborne, and others, in Camb. Univ. Lib., Dd. 4. 23 contains (near the end) a piece entitled Padouana de la Milanessa. But the phonetic difficulties in identifying the two words are serious; and they are prob. distinct terms, which may afterwards have sometimes been confused by those who knew the history of one of them only: cf. e.g. J. B. Besardus Thesaur. Harmon. (Cologne 1604) Pref.] |
