fancy

In music, old English term equivalent to the Italian fantasia, that is, a polyphonic composition for a consort of viols, broken consort, or keyboard instrument. Fancies had no definitely determined form, but always made considerable use of counterpoint and were generally divided into a number of sections, played without a break but not thematically connected.
