Think of what a dull lute world we would have if Alonso Mudarra, Anthony Holborne, Francesco da Milano, John Dowland, Simon Molinaro or Jean Baptiste Besard (to name just a few) decided they would only play thirteenth century lute tunes. How about if Francis Cutting decided that William Byrde’s things were best left on keyboard? What a loss of repertoire for all of us. I’m certainly not claiming greatness as a composer, but my tunes are fun to play.... How can I be sure? Because people that play them tell me they love them. http://www.albany.net/~dowland/lutetab.html You can order by sending a check or with PayPal Allan Alexander st 188 1 Street Troy, NY 12180-4436 dowland@albany.net C C C C C C C Good King Wenceslas Blessed Be That Maid Marie O Come, O Come Emmanual Unto Us Is Born a Son The Coventry Carol A Babe is Born Let It Sound (Personent Hodie) 14th Century German Carol C C C C C C C C C Two Pieces by Hermann Schein Ronde - Tielman Susato, Recorded on “Music For Guitar & Lute” - Azra Four related Bransles joined as a suite Gervaise, Le Roy, Anon and Praetorious The Irish March - From Elizabeth Rogers Virginal Book Grimstock - Playford Cast a Bell - Playford Bransle Charlotte - Thoinot Arbeau The Earl of Salsbary’s Pavan Nonesuch - From Playford (Two Lutes)
