I just posted some recordings, and thankfully I did so before reading this: >>I have no problem with the pavanas played without bourdons. Try listening >>to Gordon Ferries - or Chris on this list perhaps has recorded it. Just >>bear in mind >>that the opening phrase will be doubled in octaves. Why thankfully? Because I didn't end up trying to record this piece, and I can direct you to the following: [1]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHblaa849Z8 By Xavier Diaz-Latorre. I think it's much better than any example you'd get from me. If you haven't listened to his reading of Sanz, I highly recommend it (you can buy the MP3s on Amazon). Keep in mind, this video clip is recorded in his spare bedroom (or something like that) -- he released an album with Pedro Esteban on which he conceives of this piece with rather somber percussion as its flooring. Presumably, Pedro knows what's to be had for percussion in a Pavana. Anyway, las pavanas de Sanz -- sin bordones. cud
