Grice Does The Turkey Walk

As T. Glover reminded us, Grice played the "Pavane" in 1930, at the piano. This is a solemn 'piece of music'. The name may derive from 'pavo', turkey -- and the music is 'reminiscent of the way a turkey walks,' hence the name.

"It may also derive from Padova, in Italy", where this music representative of a turkey walk originated.
