This book contains 12 of the most beautiful songs of John Dowland, the greatest song-writer of Elizabethan & Jacobean England and an exact contemporary of Shakespeare. It includes not only some of his best-known and favourite songs, but also some of the finest songs from his late period. The accompaniments may be played either on a lute, from the original tablature; or on a guitar, from the tablature; or on a guitar, from the newly arranged guitar transcriptions.
