Britannica online, Oct. 1, 2018 (Pavane (probably from Italian padovana, "Paduan"), majestic processional dance of the 16th- and 17th-century European aristocracy; The pavane's basic movement, to music in 2/2 or 4/4 time, consisted of forward and backward steps; the dancers rose onto the balls of their feet and swayed from side to side; The pavane was customarily followed by its afterdance, the vigorous galliard; The paired dances, pavane and galliard, were a forerunner of the instrumental dance suites of the 17th century, and pavanes appear in a few early suites--e.g., the padouanas in some suites of Johann Hermann Schein. Later composers occasionally used the pavane as an instrumental piece; e.g., Fauré (Pavane for Orchestra) and Ravel (Pavane for a Dead Princess))
Grove music online, Oct. 1, 2018 (Pavan [pavane, paven, pavin] (It. pavana, padovana; Fr. pavane; Ger. Paduana). A court dance of the 16th and early 17th centuries. There are hundreds of examples in the contemporary sources of consort, keyboard and lute music; the music of a pavan is almost invariably in duple metre (two or four beats to the bar in modern transcriptions) and usually consists of two, three or four sections of regular metrical structure, each repeated; Like other dance forms of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, the pavan has occasionally been reinterpreted by more recent composers; Pavans by Fauré (op.50, 1887) and Ravel (Pavane pour une infante défunte, 1899; 'Pavane de la belle au bois dormant' from Ma mère l'oye, 1908-10) are justly celebrated))
