Description

Pavane Lachrimae. Pavane, old dance inspired on the peacock. Lachchrimae, “flow my tears”, a pop hit (ayre) published by lute player John Dowland in 1600, a real tear jerker. The melody became a source of inspiration for many composers, among others for the famous Amsterdam organ player Jan Pieter Sweelinck (1562-1621), one of the predecessors of Johann Sebastian Bach as composer of works for organ, harpsichord and choirs. Two layer UF spiral, based on Mike Williams’ Wurlitzer formula, in combination with a Doodads and Thingamajigs coloring. Thanks for your views, comments and favs. Great Sunday to all.

Superb title for a highly unusual colour combination - which works very well in tune with the rather sombre theme. Mike

I love the movement and colors in this. I learn so much out here from others. Such interesting information. I have always loved the pavane. I studied those old dances at the University when I once majored in dance. Great choice for a title. One of my favorite pieces of music is Ravel's "Pavane for a Dead Princess". Beautiful fractal. I can imagine a slow courtly dance in there.

A very different sort of spiral, it looks as though it's in rapid motion, hurtling toward somewhere else! Also an intriguing history you gave us.

The wild peacocks that occasionally wander onto the back end of my property would be greatly attracted to this. It's quite lovely. And I do like your musical references. For anyone wondering about the Pavane, here is a version on guitar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oTfzpb01Sk
