Fantsia is a different beast than a Pavan. Pavan is a dance piece, the size of the room used by the dancers for their procession dictates how much music will be needed, sometimes it is good for the band to have a sequence of pavans ready; perhaps even special pieces for particular personages in the procession. A fantasia is a work of art music, some art on the part of the performer is expected. This includes the possibility of repeated sections; however, I would expect some kind of embellishment on such repeats. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
