My Lady Hunssdon's Allemande (P.54) by John Dowland

HQ version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7z-xIUcr0A&fmt=18

Amid the gloom and doom of the vast majority of the music of John Dowland (1563-1626), there are the occasional works of lightness and even whimsy. Among these trifles is Lady Hunssdon's Allemande, also known as Lady Hunsdon's Puffe, a very brief and very delightful work of less than two minutes' duration. Set in binary form with lively outer sections in the rhythm of an almain and a closing section with a more march-like rhythm, Dowland's Lady Hunsdon's Almain remains a charming work by this most doleful of composers. ~ All Music Guide

@raymondjamesrivera Good classical guitars sound indeed does improve with age

I've seen this guitar in person, the coolest thing about it is that it's broken in, kind of the way old Fender Strats do, believe it or not. But I love that because it gives me an image of this incredible artist just putting in the time to play at this level. Obviously he is naturally gifted, but I like the thought of him practicing like 8 hours a day. True or not that inspires me to play...

Yo you'd be rocking out in the medieval era!

Just came back to this after a long break. It really is very good! Well-balanced across the register. :o)

[timoiste]

Very nice version, when I try playing this, I use a simpler version and that is still a hard effort for me. But the piece itself is also very beautiful in itself.

[tuningmachine]

Absolutely outstanding.

[langvarig]

Impressive - I will study your version in order to progress in my own.

[dougbarton]

Best performance of these piece ever. Tempo, tone color, interpretation, ornamentation...couldn't be better. May I ask whose transcription you're playing?

[xiaofrench]
