Dowland ~ "Can She Excuse My Wrongs" & "Come, Heavy Sleep"

[@jillymck51]

Darwin is my hometown. There is so much film footage and when I see it, it HURTS all these years later. Find the film footage and watch it. 😢😢😢😢

Listen to the Syncopation in this. Dowland was a proper Renaissance Rock musician - Rocknaissance.

[@flutesandfretsduo]

Haha yes he certainly knew what he was doing!

[@luckybarrel7829]

Wow so fast on flute like on a recorder and such clear articulation when fast

[@flutesandfretsduo]

Thank you so much!

[@Hadri_ART]

[@flutesandfretsduo]

Thank you!! Yes it's a wonderful work - amazing that it's been arranged for so many combinations too!

[@dbadagna]

Lovely performance, well filmed, and the flutist's fine attention to intonation (which sounds like something close to meantone) is appreciated.

[@flutesandfretsduo]

So beautifully executed! Would you please let us know more about this flute? Copy of which instrument, made by whom? Thank you 😊

[@flutesandfretsduo]

Thank you so much! The flute is a tenor in D made by Giovanni Tardino from maple wood, a really wonderful instrument

[@gerardvila4685]

Dowland wrote for voice (and of course for lute), but I think he would have liked the wonderful sweetness and agility of this flute.

[@flutesandfretsduo]

We really hope so too!

[@Closminding]

The priory was Catholic and Dowland a Catholic convert.

[@Oaktreealley]

So beautiful. Is it a low D flute?

[@flutesandfretsduo]

Thank you! Yes it's a D tenor renaissance flute

[@andrewwhaley7639]

@@flutesandfretsduo who's the maker? It sounds amazing but that's most likely down to your skill!
