Dowland, John - The Collected Lute Music Of John Dowland

During his lifetime John Dowland was one of the few English composers whose fame spread throughout Europe. He has never been entirely forgotten although his music was almost completely ignored during the whole of the eighteenthcentury and most of the nineteenth. The early twentieth century saw a dawning recognition among scholars and specialists of the rare quality of his work.

This is a comprehensive and exhaustive collection ofDowland’s compositions for the Lute, with critical commentaries, lists of sources and biographical notes, as thoroughly compiled and edited by Diana Poulton and Basil Lam.

The music is presented in bothkeyboardnotation and Lute tablature.
