Description
Includes The Crocke, The Emperor’s Pavyn, The Kyng’s Maske, The Kyng’s Pavyn. These pieces form a strange group in British Library, Royal App. 58, which also contains some well-known idiomatic keyboard pieces such as My Lady Carey’s Dumpe. The six pieces here are written in keyboard tablature, but are in three or four parts, and transfer easily to an ensemble. The King’s Pavyn is actually a French tune called Pavane Lesquercade, found also in Jean d’Estrées.
