One of the most incredible 17th-century pavans for lyra viol.
This music is unbelievably rich in ornamentation 🎻 — sometimes every single note is marked, decorated, alive with detail. It’s not just written… it’s sculpted.
Played on a 17th-century English viol 🇬🇧, the sound world becomes something else entirely: intimate, intricate, almost hypnotic 🌫️✨
A slow pavan… but inside, a universe of motion.
