	John Dowland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Very little is known of Dowland's early life, but it is generally thought he was born in London or possibly Dublin.
		Dowland's music often displays the melancholia that was so fashionable in music at that time.
		Dowland's song, Come Heavy Sleepe, the Image of True Death, was the inspiration for Benjamin Britten's Nocturnal after John Dowland for guitar, written in 1964 for the guitarist Julian Bream.

	HOASM: John Dowland
		We know nothing of John Dowland's early life beyond the statements, made in his publications, that he was born in 1563 and studied the 'ingenuous profession of Musicke' from childhood.
		Dowland dedicated Lachrimae to the queen, Anne of Denmark, stating that the collection was begun in her native land and finished in England; to some extent it represents the practice and repertory of expatriate Englishmen at the Danish court, including the composers William Brade and Daniel Norcombe.
		Dowland's obsessive melancholy thus appears from the outset and is never far away in any of the song books.

	Dowland, John (1563 - 1626) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Dowland was the composer, in particular, of one of the best known songs of the period, Flow my teares, music much imitated, epitomising the fashionable humour of the day, melancholy.
		Dowland himself provided an apt pun on his own name - Dowland, semper dolens (Dowland, always grieving) - although he had a reputation as a cheerful man, yet professionally embittered by his long failure to find employment at court.
		Dowland was above all the composer of lute-songs, publishing his first collection of airs in 1597, followed by a second in 1600 and a third in 1603.

	Tonalsoft Encyclopaedia of Tuning, (c) 2003 Tonalsoft Inc. -- John Dowland's Lute Fretting, (c) 1998 by Joe Monzo
		John Dowland's lute piece Lachrimae was wildly popular around the turn of the 17th century, even being referred to by Shakespeare in some of his plays.
		Dowland's tablature for Lachrimae reveals that he specifically required some very strange harmonic structures, which are entirely lost in the many 12-EDO versions of this pieces that most Dowland fans have heard.
		His performances were the inspiration for my presentation on Dowland's tuning at the ISMA conference in Perugia, Italy, on September 11, 2001.

	[No title]
		Dowland played before Elizabeth in 1592, but he was not favored with a royal appointment during Elizabeth's reign.
		Dowland's works are often introspective, melancholy, and discordant by the standards of the time.
		Dowland's most famous instrumental collection is (in modernized spelling) ``Lachrimae, or Seven Tears.'' It begins with a series of seven ``passionate pavans'' based on a four-note theme, and each pavan is an apt illustration of the word ``lachrymose.'' They are arranged for five viols and lute, quite a solemn sonority.

		Dowland to thee is deare; whose heauenly tuch Vpon the Lute, doeth rauish humaine sense:...
		Dowland claimed not to understand the Mass, which, if he means the Latin language, was not true: in 1609 he published a translation of a Latin music theory book.
		Dowland was born into an improvising tradition, and it is likely that when he played he did not have a piece of music in front of him - most of the surviving manuscripts were written down by or for amateurs, not for professionals.

	Dowland Vs Hume - ZEN403
		Dowland and Hume were both uncompromising individuals whose careers were marked by their sense of injustice at the lack of royal patronage for them in England.
		Dowland chose Hume to symbolise the new chordal style to which the master of the written-out counterpoint was vehemently opposed.
		On his return to the continent, a disillusioned Dowland was dismayed to observe a drop in standards in the younger generation of lutenists, whose feeble efforts were, he felt, the reason for its partial demise.

	JOHN DOWLAND, Biography, Discography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Born in 1563 John Dowland was almost exactly contemporary with Sweelinck and Shakespeare.
		As an adoloscent he was 'servant' to the ambassadors of England to the court of France, spending over four years in Paris between 1580 and 1586.
		During this stay - which must have greatly contributed to raising his social status and orienting his musical evolution - Dowland was converted to Catholicism under the influence of the English emigrants.

		I was already familiar with and a fan of Dowland's music, but I hesitated getting this set, thinking that over five hours of music for the lute and the opharion (a metal-stringed instrument similar to the lute) would be overkill.
		Dowland's manuscripts leave much to the imagination and intepretative genius of the player, and Odette combines faithful rendering with sparkling and virtuoso improvised ornamentation.
		Dowland was a genius, and when you have another genius of the lute (Paul O'Dette) playing his music, this music transcends all words that could possibly describe it.
