Product Details

Product Description

John Dowland is often associated with being a melancholic lute player and singer in the style of the Elizabethan era, earning him the moniker "Always Dowland, always doleful". If you have been looking for a composer that sounds like knights and castles on a lute, than look no further, you have found the best examplar: John Dowland.

Mr. Dowland's Midnight is an instrumental piece composed for the lute. It is a pavan, a slow and stately dance popular in Renaissance music. It is typically played in the key of E minor. Dowland's compositions, including "Mr. Dowland's Midnight" were published in collections such as "The First Booke of Songes" and "Lachrimae, or Seaven Teares."

Having hollow 5th chords (A.K.A. power chords) is a cliché rennissance trope/motif, but the piece actually uses a more complex harmonic vocabulary than one would expect for the 16th century. There certainly is a fair amount of hollow 5th though.

Features:
1. Updated to modern notation
2. Arranged for modern standard tuning guitar instead of lute tuning
3. Obvious fingerings added (subjective fingerings left in)
4. Chord names added
5. Glissandos added
6. Key changed
