Dowland: Can she excuse my wrongs, lute solo

This is my own intabulation of Dowland's famous song. The music can be found in page http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wikla/mus/own/Intabs/
This video is only an unpolished version, just to show my intabulation in practice. The soprano lute is made after model "Wendelio Venere", Vienna, c.1580, by Timo Kontio, 1997. Arto Wikla, 13.6.2008.

Thanks Bill! I've tried my best in a very limited time frame: "Can she" was made this morning and recorded in the afternoon, while children were watching the TV... :-) Well, all tabs are of pieces I am very familiar of - my all time favorities - when I play them, I hear my singers of more than 20 years. And of course I also hear all my mistakes, not well played tones, etc. But as I say, these videos are just unpolished versions, meant to be motivation for everyone to do it better... :-) Arto

Dear Arto,

I appreciate your lute performances, but I don't understand why are you playing this soprano (dicant) lute in solo!

This instrument is not created for solo works. I don't like your discant vids!!

Sorry

Gabor
