The composer of 88 lute songs, Dowland had twice applied for the position of lutenist at the court of Elizabeth I and was rejected both times -- for religious reasons, it was thought. (He had converted to Catholicism during a Protestant reign.) His talents, however, were welcomed at courts in Germany, Venice, Florence, and Denmark. Since the early 20th century, Dowland's excellence as a song writer has been well established; and many of his compositions for lute -- long shrouded in obscurity -- have become well known.\u003cbr\u003eThis collection of 45 songs includes all the works in his original \u003ci\u003eThird Booke of Songs or Aires\u003c\/i\u003e; in \u003ci\u003eA Pilgrime's Solace\u003c\/i\u003e (his fourth collection); three contributions to his son Robert's \u003ci\u003eA Musicall Banquet\u003c\/i\u003e; plus a lovely galliard -- a dance for solo guitar.\u003cbr\u003eTogether with Nadal's \u003ci\u003eLute Songs of John Dowland (First and Second Books)\u003c\/i\u003e, published in 1997, this compilation completes Dover's newly edited and engraved editions of Dowland's lute songs -- a rich \u003ci\u003eoeuvre\u003c\/i\u003e sure to be studied and enjoyed by singers, guitarists, and music lovers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486422442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.30d","brand":"John Dowland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637768745116,"sku":"9780486422442","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f3f84bab-93d0-4ce9-84de-5f9dcea7af54.jpg?v=1603845643","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/john-dowlands-lute-songs-third-and-fourth-books-with-original-tablature-9780486422442","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
