Lute - "Orlando Sleepeth" by Dowland

A fun little Renaissance piece by John Dowland. Not too hard to play, but plenty challenging for me.

I've been playing the lute now for three weeks. Any help you can give me in regards to technique would be great.

Sorry for the low-light conditions. I forgot to turn my light on :)

As you can see, I listened to your lute renderings as well and I enjoyed them ! As a young, but huge baroque fan, I would love to purchase a lute. Would you mind sharing some advice as to what to buy ?

Cheers,

Peter

Thanks! But this is a Renaissance lute, not a Baroque lute.

If you like "la musique ancienne" as much as I do, you should have no problem finding luthiers in France. There are far more in Europe than here in America.

I could neither see your face nor your hands and the entire video has been shot in dark like a Hitchcock Movie in the late 1940s.Come on. Do it again. It is a nice number.
