From a recording session-, mostly in "prima vista" playing,- to produce background music for a spoken therapeutic CD. Please visit ***http://soundcloud.com/FHgitarre*** to hear some of my better recordings!

thank you for sharing this fantastic music of Dowland, great performance!

Music of the so-called "Renaissance", originally composed for lute or vihuela (an early guitar-like instrument). Played and recorded long time ago without any ambitions for "historical correctness" on a fat modern guitar.
Hope you enjoy anyhow :)

Robert Johnson (ca 1580 - 1633/34) was an english composer and lutenist. His father John was lutenist at the court of Queen Elisabeth I.
Between 1610 and 1617 Robert Johnson composed for the "King's Men" theatrical company, providing music for William Shakespeare's plays. So he sometimes is called as "Shakespeare's Lutenist"

John Dowland (ca 1563-1626) composed this little "Air" over the tune of the ancient ballad "As I went to Walsingham", which was very popular in it's time. Walsingham in Norfolk (England) has been a place of pilgrimage since the 11th century. It was suppressed in 1538 as part of the Reformation in England, today it is considered as "England's Nazareth" again.

But the subject of the original ballad is about longing and flirting, such as sometimes happens even on the occasion of pilgrimages...

*** Special note for the Lute Players and other experts : Yes, I played it on a fat modern guitar. Yes, I didn't include any ornamentations. No, it's not at all played in historical correct manner. Though never been a real  "ancient music"-player, I loved  the pure substance in old, timeless jewels like this one. So please don't pillory me for that ;-) ***
