Considered by whom?
Dowland's style is essentially the same as that of other English composers of the Elizabethan era, and that style is far removed from the monody practiced by the Florentine Camerata.
Dowland's Lachrimae are characteristic of English viol consort style, which is very very un-Baroque.
1600 is often considered the approximate start of the Baroque in ITALY, but there's no universal start date.
The Renaissance style persisted in England well past 1600.

yes well i should have called it early baroque cos i anw i regard music before 1600 to be the renaissance period. and no i dont really like music of our time i prefer things long before my generation
-
Yes. Hearing Lachrimae on viols (which is what it was written for) adds the dimension of authenticity,
without which there's only a false impression, no matter how congenial.

How wonderful that you love Baroque music so much, though I'm not sure why you think of Baroque when you hear Dowland, who was a contemporary of Shakespeare and Queen Elisabeth I.
Sorry that you prefer the hootchie kootchie music of the 21st century.
-
its wonderful i love baroque music so much i definitely prefer it to the music of this century
-
very good and viol consort adds another dimension to Dowland....



That is again a nice collection of video's and the sound quality is better!

Just a quieter and smaller venue this time (I used the same camera). They did a great job didn't they? One day maybe I'll be able to play half as well.
