Complete, accurate, and inexpensive, July 13 2008

This review is from: John Dowland's Lute Songs: Third and Fourth Books with Original Tablature (Paperback)
These Dowland books are ideal: complete, accurate, and inexpensive.The only problem is a random editorial decison by which a few of the songs are notated "at pitch", which means the editor has arranged the music for guitar rather than writing it as it would lie on lute. This means a guitarist interested in maintaining Dowland's fingerings would have to redo the transcriptions. Still, a very valuable resource to own!!!

Renaissance music still enjoyable today, Jan 13 2011

This review is from: John Dowland's Lute Songs: Third and Fourth Books with Original Tablature (Paperback)
Nice guitar arrangements of the original lute music. Some fingering indications to indicate which voices to sustain would be helpful as in many cases it is impossible to sustain full note values indicated in the standard notation.
