Summary of This Book
The Original First and Second Books Including Dowland's Original Lute Tablature brings together two major publications by John Dowland, a central figure of the English "ayre." It contains the complete works from the First and Second Books of Songs, with the associated lute tablature, allowing one to work on the essential connection between the vocal line, the text, and the harmony of the accompaniment. This collection is intended for both singers and lutenists, as well as musicians wishing to approach late Renaissance aesthetics in a version faithful to the source.
The content covers a wide range of affects and forms, from intimate and melancholic airs to livelier and more ornamented pieces. Among the essentials are "Flow my tears", "Come again", and "I saw my Lady weep", works often studied for their expressiveness, refined prosody, and subtle lute writing. The volume also includes an instrumental piece, "My Lord Chamberlain his Galliard" (marked "For two to play"), which perfectly complements the study of style, articulation, and dance. A reference resource for building a voice and lute concert program, enriching an early music repertoire, or deepening ornamentation and historically informed interpretation.
