John Dowland (1563
â?? 1626), a
contemporary of both
William Shakespeare and
Queen Elizabeth I, was
recognized as one of the
greatest musicians of his
time, writing songs,
ensemble music and solos
for the
lute.
Early music has
long been part of the
classic guitar repertoire
and more recently, it has
been adopted with
enthusiasm by ukulele
players. This book
presents sixteen of
Dowland's most beautiful
lute songs that can be
performed by ukulele
players, with or without
a
vocalist.
Two versions of
each song â?? one easier
and another more
advancedâ??are offered
in both standard notation
and tablature for
soprano, concert, and
tenor ukuleles in
re-entrant (gCEA) tuning.
Various vocal ensemble
renditions of the songs,
as well as the
authorâ??s video
performances of each solo
arrangement are available
online. For vocalists and
their audiences, and for
all musicians and
songwriters to fully
connect with the emotion
of the songs,
Dowlandâ??s sublime
lyrics are also
included.
