The Battle Pavane
The Battle Pavane (alternative spelling: Battle Pavan) is an instrumental piece by Tielman Susato which he published in 1551 in alderhande Danserye, a collection of Renaissance dance music.
In recent decades Bob Margolis' arrangement of it has gained mass popularity among high school wind ensembles. The piece is often played by Renaissance-style bands and always features a large trumpet part. The piece begins with a quiet, sustained melody. It ends with a heavily accented fanfare of trumpets. This piece is very typical of the mid-sixteenth century court music and would have been played by a small orchestra.
