John Dowland was unsurpassed in his day as a lute virtuoso and the composer of 88 lute songs. Since the early twentieth century Dowland's excellence as a songwriter has been well established; many of his compositions for lute- long shrouded in obscurity have become well known. This collection of 45 songs includes all the works in his third and fourth collection. Transcribed for voice and Guitar by David Nadal including Dowland's original lute tablature.

The Original First and Second Books including Dowland's Original Lute Tablature-Considered the greatest lute virtuoso and composer of the English school in the early 17th Century John Dowland (1563-1626) composed over 80 pieces of solo lute music. His peerless skills as an instrumentalist were hailed by poet Richard Barnfield who referred to Dowland as one '...whose heav'nly touch upon the lute doth ravish human sense.' As a composer Dowland displayed a versatility of mood with works ranging from the lighthearted to the deeply serious exquisitely melancholic vein in which he excelled.

In the past two decades tango has experienced a popular resurgence worldwide. Almost universally familiar as a dance form, tango is also a distinctive genre of song or canción that was born in the impoverished outskirts of late 19th-century Buenos Aires. Whether sung in Spanish, or as would happen later, in Italian or Russian. Twenty-six songs illustrate the growth and diversity of tango from its Argentine roots to its dissemination throughout Europe and into the Middle East and beyond. These songs are represented both in print - with melody lines, chord boxes and lyrics in their original language and in English - and through classic recordings by the original artists on the accompanying CD. The CD features 26 classic recordings by the original artists.
