This article appears in Volume V20, Page 969 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PAVANE, PAVAN Or PAVAN, the name of a slow stately
dance
  of the 16th and 17th centuries. The word has been variously derived: (I) from Lat. pavo,
peacock
 ; the dancers, as they wheel and turn, spread out their
long
  cloaks, which they retained in this
dance
 , like the tail of the
bird
 ; (2) from Padovana, i.e. of Padua, in
Italy
 ; the dance, however, is usually taken to have come from
Spain
 . As an instrumental
composition
 , common in the 16th and 17th centuries, the "
pavane
  " was usually followed by the
quick
  and lively " galliard," as the " gigue " followed the "
saraband
  " in the later suite (see DANCE).
