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.

This set of music John Dowland wrote for lute came from a larger group of songs transcribed from the lute notation for keyboard by Peter Warlock. These were songs Dowland wrote for or dedicated to certain ladies: Mrs. White's Nothinge, The Shoemaker's Wife (A Toy), The Lady Rich Her Galliard, My Lady Hunsdon's Puffe, and Queen Elizabeth's Galliard. These are not too difficult to play, although music written in the 1500's may sound a little odd. It is set by John Gibson for three clarinets.
