I note comments that this version is too fast. Ah...sorry, the song is also a Galliard, a dance, and you can dance to this version. Which is not to say that the slower versions have no merit. In the 16th Century, music was never this or that and that Dowland's music lent itself to being neither this or that is one reason for its popularity, as far afield as Bulgaria. So beautiful version. Soprano makes herself into an instrument and sings beautifully too.. This has now become my favorite version of the song.
Yes, but... at that time you most certainly would not be able hear this piece. A dutch writer who writes historical novels about the dutch colony in the east (being of mixed ancestry) once was asked if he would have liked to live during that time, he vehemently said "No!" I would have been a coolie!"
IN that time you would not have heard the song or danced the dance unless you were wealthy. Now people all over the wotld can hear ..... I would like to see the dance, it must have been vigorous!
The English classical tradition is absolutely remarkable, there is a sense of genuine heart-felt expression without pretension, yet it still remains sophisticated and transcendent. It leaves the listener with a wonderful sense of authenticity, idyllic charm, and that the people the music is created for are also good, authentic, and heart-warming people. This sense seems to permeate from the renaissance English composers, the baroque, all the way to the 20th century with Ralph Vaughan Williams. It's a shame really that the nobility of England were too preoccupied with the continental composers to realize the gold dust they had at home. As a result, English music suffered post Baroque and didn't really recover until the 20h century. As an Englishman myself, this is a massive shame in my eyes.
How beautifully put. This is exactly how I feel about English music. It is wonderfully paradoxical that something so particular to to culture of a tiny place can have such universal significance. Andy
English music from the mid-16th to the mid-17th centuries contains some of the finest music ever written. The composers just trip off the tongue: Dowland, Tallis, Byrd, Gibbons, Bull, Tomkins, the Farnabys et al. The fantasias of Byrd and Gibbons in particular are absolutely spectacular. The Byrd '2-in-1' will probably never be surpassed.
Open Music I'm an Italian man, and i'm just scouring lovely music on you tube, while i'm locked in the house because of C.V. i've just listened to Pietro Mascagni's Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana and there's no deny it is of incredble beauty. This is not to say that some old English music is not equally beautiful. I knew this piece before played by the great Scott Tennant on a classical guitar, i was totally charmed..yes it is a shame the music in England post Baroque suffered a little, but what we do got we cherish. At the end of the day it doesn't matter where music comes from, what does matter is, it pleasures our ears, and allows us to stay in touch with our past. Regards Sergio..
The problem in England was the Civil War and Commonwealth (1642-1660), when music was pretty well banned. Following the restoration of Charles II (1660), English music virtually had to reinvent itself. The last of the 'old school' composers, Tomkins, died in 1656 - if only he'd lived another four years to re-found what had been. English music never really recovered from the 1640s...

The music of this period had great utility as a marvelous dance or as a lovely song(witness Herzlich thut mich verlangen which became O Sacred Heart Now Wounded later on). This ensemble has done the Dowland piece in a marvelous way. Bravo!
Now, O now, I needs must part, Parting though I absent mourn. Absence can no joy impart: Joy once fled cannot return. While I live I needs must love, Love lives not when Hope is gone. Now at last Despair doth prove, Love divided loveth none. Sad despair doth drive me hence, This despair unkindness sends. If that parting be offence, It is she which then offends. Dear, when I am from thee gone, Gone are all my joys at once. I loved thee and thee alone, In whose love I joyed once. And although your sight I leave, Sight wherein my joys do lie, Till that death do sense bereave, Never shall affection die. Dear if I do not return Love and I shall die together, For my absence never mourn, Whom you might have joyed ever. Part we must, though now I die. Die I do to part with you. Him despair doth cause to lie, Who both lived and died true.

Can u imagine if Master Dowland could have the technology of today to make music. I would like to think he wouldn't be degenerate like 70% of today's music is. What a lost talent.
Vibrato singing wasn't the "classical " way to sing until the popularity of Opera hundreds of years later. My understanding is, because opera was so loud, vibrato was necessary to prevent singers from destroying their vocal chords. I don't care for opera because of the overuse of vibrato.
@@asherplatts6253 Dowland was a Renaissance composer and opera was developed in the late Renaissance so there aren't hundreds of years between these genres of music. Also a voice will have a certain level of vibrato naturally if the singer is using a relaxed technique. Even in this she has some vibrato but it's mixing with the reverb from the performing space very nicely as the spinning out of the voice. It definitely isn't as big a vibrato as what gets used in Romantic opera techniques but it's not only straight tone
@@maryroosma9583 you're saying the same thing as me. Operatic vibrato was developed hundreds of years later, for huge venues and massive volume. This straighter tone singing was likely what was used in early opera as well, as it was more of a chamber music with small audiences.
I hear hints of Greensleeves. Which would make sense as it was registered in 1580, Dowland would have been a teenager when he heard it and probably incorporated it into this work either knowingly or subconsciously.

I remember my English History teacher telling stories in class making fun of Elisabeth's hapless suitors, including this poor frog. But Dowland is not making fun of him at all. Here he has written one of his loveliest pieces for a poor abused Frenchman whom he certainly knew personally. Just based on the Dowland I think we need to change our view of the Frenchman in question. Dowland obviously though him special.
Just perfect. Even half a millennium later this is a beautiful song.
Absolutely
True beauty has no expiration date :)
Agreed!
@@lauraandrews1676 I absolutely agree!
There was a time when music was still the sound of purity, not of dirt, as it is today.

I've never heard it at this fast a tempo before, but I can understand how this tempo is more danceable.
Good comment. Artistic interpretations are welcome, especially from such great artists. Many thanks, John.
I agree, manually slowed the video to 0.75x speed which sounds better in my opinion
If it had percussion, it would be better for dancing.
John dowland never dies ❤
His 500 years old legacy proves that

The older I get, the more I want this world rather than the present one.

While I live I needs must love,
Love lives not when Hope is gone.
Now at last Despair doth prove,
Love divided loveth none.
Sad despair doth drive me hence,
This despair unkindness sends.
If that parting be offence,
It is she which then offends.
Dear, when I am from thee gone,
Gone are all my joys at once.
I loved thee and thee alone,
In whose love I joyed once.
And although your sight I leave,
Sight wherein my joys do lie,
Till that death do sense bereave,
Never shall affection die.
Dear if I do not return
Love and I shall die together,
For my absence never mourn,
Whom you might have joyed ever.
Part we must, though now I die.
Die I do to part with you.
Him despair doth cause to lie,

I remember my English History teacher telling stories in class making fun of Elisabeth's hapless suitors, including this poor frog. But Dowland is not making fun of him at all. Here he has written one of his loveliest pieces for a poor abused Frenchman whom he certainly knew personally. Just based on the Dowland I think we need to change our view of the Frenchman in question. Dowland obviously though him special.
Where can I learn more about this story? Im dying to know what the origin of the title “Frog Galliard” is.
Great music; foolish sentiment.
