Oh my God!!!! This change is very much for me!!!!

Take your stupid made up name and your lute and f**k off back to Newcastle you coconut headed git.
If people don't know what I'm referring to I suggest you watch Sting on Life's Too Short - funniest moment on TV of 2011.
-
@hijtohema, agree that your reference clip captures the feeling in a more expressive manner. Soprano voicing is nice.
-
Sadly there were no recordings of ancient performances.
-
@JamKar1 Actually the arrangement is pretty close to the original. The only additions are the second (theorbo) lute and the choir.
Have a listen to this version: youtube(dot)com/watch?v=JI005i

@firefinder2889 John Dowland wouldn't have liked this comment. He was a court musician/composer par excellence.
-
@frg8524 A theorbo, which is a lute with additional non-fretted bass strings.
-
@hijtohema: I totally agree to what you said about Sting's lack of drama. He wants to sound a lttle bit like a classical singer, but it's vain endeavour. There's a Danish rock singer named Freddie Wadling, who did it very much better (unfortunately not to find on YouTube).

@MrBambi91: oh sorry, some other guys mentioned already.

I'd like to hear John Dowland do a punk version of message in a bottle. Sadly, the man is dead. Anyway, I'd still like it.

The "vocalists" represents what Mr. Dowland wrote, that is a four voice "a cappella" song that could be also sung by a treble voice with lute accompainment. It's a pity they have been relegated to some sort of anonimous background, but the experiment is absolutely great. The soule of the Police is a great musician, indeed.
