This collection of 45 songs includes all the works in Dowland's original third and fourth books of lute songs, the composer's contributions to his son's anthology of 1610, and a dance for solo guitar.

This book is filled with John Dowland's haunting lute songs, as performed by Sting and Edin Karamazov. After his introduction to Dowland's music in the 1980s, Sting has continually returned to the music of this 'original English singer-songwriter' for inspiration, culminating in this spectacular album. Also included in the album and the songbook are excerpts from John Dowland's letters, bringing us even closer to the man behind the masterpieces. All songs are arranged for Guitar and Voice in both standard notation and tablature. / Guitare Tablatures
