John Dowland - Lute Duet

"My Lord Willoughby's Welcome Home" lute duet by John Dowland.

I play the second lute part, while my dear friend Luthval agreed to lend me his first part lute video track.

Forgive me Val, it may not be perfect, but I tried to breathe with you :)

I love this duet! How similar in size, shape and design are the two Renaissance lutes you're both playing?

[luteplayer80]

Yes, quite the same instrument

[eirinikos]

Wow were you in the same room or was that over the net?

[luteplayer80]

Are you serious? :))))))))))))

[Sojue]

wow! Bellissimo! how about my lord Chamberlaine? Let's go Dowland!

[luteplayer80]

Since "My Lord Chamberlain" is a duet upon one lute... any idea on how to record it? :)

[Nicorette1234]

too sick, I listen to both of you, and both of you at the same time is amazing

[Airea85]

Very much so, it was considered a valued accomplishment.

[Underbarmusik]

Totally amazing!! I am speachless, this is when music is at its best

[Xezlec]

You two are the royal lutenists of the kingdom of Youtubea. Great to hear you together!

@violatione that is Dowland's creation

[violatione]

This was really cool! Did you invent the duet part or did Dowland himself write it?

[guitargirl4scrabble]

It looks like the 6-course is so much easier to control than the 8-course. What do you say about that?

[jclmusic]

absolutely amazing!!

[guitargirl4scrabble]

Guys, amazing!

[chas5131]

That lute appears to have had a course removed.  Was it to simplify playing that duet?

I wish I was a luteplayer girl, but I digress.

The lute is a truly beautiful instrument and I hope I get the opportunity to learn it in my lifetime.
