Pavan

Arranged by Peter Warlock and Brian May

Performed by Brian May, Julian Hemmingway and Stuart Esworthy

This piece was played by Brian at the "Capital Radio Rock Master Class" in November 1983, and was released on an accompanying cassette. A pavan is a traditional 16th century dance, and Brian produced a three part arrangement for electric guitar as part of the master class. He taught two student guitarists to play it, and explained to the audience how everything fitted together. At the end of the class, they all played the completed pavan together.

A studio arrangement of the Pavan was included on the cover CD of the June 1998 issue of "Guitarist" Magazine. This, however, does not feature Brian playing the guitar (though it is based on his arrangement).
