John Dowland was an English Renaissance composer, lutenist, and singer. He is best known today for his melancholy songs and lute compositions. Dowland is one of my favourite composers of the Elizabethan era and this work is an excellent set of variations/divisions on two themes. I also found this info on the title via this Naxos album (www.naxos.com/...) and Nigel North: "Queen Elizabeth’s last official suitor for marriage was the Duc d’Alençon who came to England in 1579 and 1581. He was a small ugly man with a huge nose and a face disfigured by small pox. He was, however, an excellent dancer and Elizabeth decided to call him her Frog. When she finally refused him, he departed for France distraught and deceived. The song Now, oh now I needs must part (from Dowland’s First Booke of Songs or Ayres) is thought to be about the Duke’s departure, and is a version of an early galliard known as the Frog Galliard. In binary form, this galliard has an unusual trochaic rhythm in the first strain, and some of Dowland’s most melodic and inventive divisions."

Your guitar has wonderful tone, especially those trebles! Love this piece, well done.

[@Josh.Vanjani]

I was really excited to see this lesson in my feed today! I've been into Dowland and Renaissance works lately and was already considering trying this next. Just purchased a copy from Werner; that'll save trying to decipher Dowland's own manuscript ha ha. I totally agree about starting with the metronome, but then adding in micro expressions; that gives a human element. This was a great lesson, I've found your tutorials have been the most beneficial of all the channels I watch. 👏

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Enjoy!

[@geoffbeilby3717]

Great lesson, thanks. I've had this piece on a back burner but you've encouraged me to learn it properly now.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

It's a good one.

[@brookeaday9423]

Love it Brad. Great job, such a fun lyrical piece.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Thanks so much! I love Dowland.

[@reneefiallosfiallos4218]

Really enjoy your touch.

[@DebbieBarrette]

Do you ever improvise your own melodies in the variations? I know that was the style of the period. I have yet to explore that myself but seems it would be a lot of fun.

[@whenmyguitar]

Thank you very much! Very interesting!

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Glad you liked it!

[@matteobarbera9250]

Thanks for the video

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Thanks for watching!

[@crispycrimps865]

It seems you're moving less from the big knuckle for your RH than usual. I wonder if that was intencional

[@robmurrah3224]

Do you prefer cedar tops over spruce tops? If so, just curious why. Thanks!

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Totally depends on the luthier and their design. Love both.

[@micaelguarinalvarez7904]

Do you also play the lute?

[@TheDrunkMunk]

I'd be interested in hearing about this as well. I think I would like to get a lute sometime soon.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

I have played lute before but didn't love the sound of my nails much! I would have to experiment with strings as the combo of synthetic gut and nails wasn't amazing, maybe nylon would be good.

[@micaelguarinalvarez7904]

@@Thisisclassicalguitar Yeah usually it's a better experience to play without nails, nylgut strings are always an option!

[@mikefranz5354]

😊🎶

[@sergiodario58able]

I don't think i could play this piece, not even if i practised it for 100 years.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

What level are you at right now? You just need a plan. Also, if you practiced for 100 years I'd be so impressed that you could play anything and I'd like it!

[@greatdavid8790]

Can you upload Villa-lobos Choro n1

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Good suggestion!

[@smblott]

What is the word he uses twice.... "There's that 'HINIOLA(?)' again". In the last couple of bars of the first variation, and again at the end of the second variation.

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Rhythmic "hemiola", it's a rhythmic displacement usually found around cadences. It feels like the time signature has changed for just a small moment and increases the tension along with the chords before the relaxing final chord of the cadence.

[@darkdestiny3700]

Noice!!!

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

Toit

[@jackdeago3639]

What does the capo do ?and how can we get the same result without it?

[@TheDrunkMunk]

He explains it at the start

[@Thisisclassicalguitar]

I talk about it in the lesson and also included another video about it on the sheet music page (link in description).
