30 August, 2008 Trond Bengtson has contributed two Dowland solos in one video - Mr Dowland's Midnight and the Piece Without Title
20 August, 2008 Just a link this time, but to an excellent site with all the song texts in original spellings
10 August, 2008 A few pieces added by Sylvain Bergeron including duet arrangements with Terry McKenna. Excellent stuff. I took the opportunity to bring together the mp3 solos and videos into one page.
25 July, 2008 A Coy Joy video contribution by Valéry Sauvage.
23 July, 2008 A significant essay by luthier, Martin Shepherd, on the types of lutes (and related string and pitch issues) used by Dowland. Also our first lute duet - Lord Wolloughby's Welcome Home, performed by Martin Shepherd and Stuart McCoy.
14 July, 2008 A number of magnificent contributions from Donna Stewart and Ron Andrico, the lutesong duo known as Mignarda. See mp3 songs and video songs pages.
11 July, 2008 Two major updates: David Tayler's dissertation on the Dowland canon - what did he write, and what didn't he write - and Martin Shepherd's very helpful essay on Ornamantation in Dowland. David Tayler also contributed his video performance of the Frog Galliard.
26 June, 2008 Dowland's Galliard and the Galliard on 'Awake Sweet Love' added - sprightly performances by Martin Shepherd on his 6c lute. Singers should note the c natural in the first bar of the melody, where they would normally sing a c#. Three videos from Tommy Johansson - great stuff. And the famous Lachrimae Pavan and Semper Dowland, Semper Dolens from Rob MacKillop.
25 June, 2008 Wonderful contributions by the lute and voice duo of Valeria Mignaco and Alfonso Marin, and a solo lute item by Alfonso.
23 June, 2008 Many thanks to Jean-Marie Poirier for contributing no less than six songs and two ensemble mp3s by Ensemble Walsingham. Martin Shepherd also added a solo lute item on a lute he made himself, Sir John Smith, his Alamaine.
