Brian Streckfus #1045545. Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1466982). 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 notation2. Arranged for modern standard tuning guitar instead of lute tuning 3.
