Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Considered the greatest lute virtuoso and composer of the English school in the early 17th century, John Dowland (1563--1626) composed over 80 pieces of solo lute music. His peerless skills as an instrumentalist were hailed by poet Richard Barnfield, who referred to Dowland as one "whose heav'nly touch upon the lute doth ravish human sense." As a composer, Dowland displayed a versatility of mode, with works ranging from the lighthearted to the deeply serious, exquisitely melancholic vein in which he excelled.
Now, in this unprecedented new compilation, musicians and music lovers can enjoy 43 of Dowland's songs, transcribed for voice and guitar by David Nadal, plus two dances for solo guitar. Listeners will be astounded by the amazingly fresh and modern sound embodied in Dowland's numerous innovations of form and harmony.
Comprising all the works in the original First and Second Book of Songs, the music plates have been specially prepared for this edition, including the original solo voice part, complete song texts, a modern transcription for guitar of the original accompaniment, and Dowland's original lute tablature. Attractively bound and presented, this volume is a wonderful opportunity for singers, guitarists, and all music lovers to enjoy these splendid songs -- ravishing echoes of the music played and sung in royal courts, chambers, and music halls four centuries ago.
Guitar part originally for lute; in tablature and staff notation.
"The original First and Second books, including Dowland's original lute tablature."
First book. Unquiet thoughts ; Who ever thinks or hopes of love ; My thoughts are wing'd with hopes ; If my complaints could passions move ; Can she excuse my wrongs? ; Now, O now, I needs must part ; Dear, if you change ; Burst forth, my tears ; Go crystal tears ; Think'st thou then by thy feigning ; Come away, come sweet love ; Rest awhile you cruel cares ; Sleep, wayward thoughts ; All ye, whom love or fortune ; Wilt thou, unkind, thus reave me ; Would my conceit ; Come again ; His golden locks ; Awake, sweet love, thou art return'd ; Come, heavy sleep ; Away with these self-loving lads ; My lord Chamberlain his Galliard -- Second book. I saw my lady weep ; Flow my tears ; Sorrow, stay ; Die not before thy day ; Mourn, day is with darkness fled ; Time's eldest son, Old Age (first part) ; Then sit thee down (second part) ; When others sing Venite (third part) ; Praise blindness eyes ; O sweet woods ; If floods of tears ; Fine knacks for ladies ; Now cease my wand'ring eyes ; Come ye heavy states of night ; White as lilies was her face ; Woeful heart ; A shepherd in a shade ; Faction that ever dwells ; Shall I sue ; Toss not my soul ; Clear or cloudy ; Humour say what mak'st thou here ; Dowland's adieu for Master Oliver Cromwell.
