- “Semper Dowland, semper dolens” is the self-dedication that opens Lachrimae or Seaven Teares, a collection of dances composed by the English lutenist John Dowland (1563-1626). The Concordia Viol Consort’s selection of pieces begins with the moving pavan Lachrimae Antiquae, which leads to the lively galliard The Earle of Essex and the gentle allemande Mistresse Nichols.

I love the facial expressions of the quintus player 🙂
Mistress Nichols Almand has such a golden glow around it in this recording. It feels good ❤.
glad this music is back. the average life expectancy when this music was made, was about 40. now we can live to be a 100, but i think we need our meditative moments too living in a world of noise and economic growth that kills our planet. thanks for sharing and uploading!
Maravilloso... gracias por compartir.
Accept my applause as well - great performance with crisp, clear articulation.
ego sum semper dolens. Oh mirabilia oh delirium cordis
Bravi great performance
Exelente escuchar esta música tan sublime!!
This is just swell! Thanks so much!

This is a beautiful piece, and very nicely played. But, it is NOT "Semper Dowland, semper dolens", but "Lacrimae Antique", same composer, John Dowland.
Indeed it is " Lacrimae Antique", but I was quoting another of his compositions to indicate his temperament.
John Dowland wrote several pieces that are based on the Lacimae (tears) chant. The collection is called Lacrimae: or Seaven Teares. In most editions, each piece has its own (sometimes witty) title. The collection also contains many galliards and pavans each named after a person.
Meditative.
Fantástica música i interpretación.
Lástima que com casi siempre se obvie el nombre de los intérpretes, todos ellos músicos excelentes!
This is Lachrimae
Hey, there is an actual pavan called 'Semper Dowland, Semper Dolens', and none of these are that tune.

so there are smaller gambas.. can anyone explain the differences with larger ones?
Range of pitches: the smaller the viol the higher the pitch.
DJKLProductions thanks for the answer. I'm still thirsty to know more though. The gambas have 6 up to 7 strings, right? So, are all of them-the larger and the smaller-tuned in the same way as each other?
Normally six stringth, but there is no norm for it because it is an instrument from the late Middle Ages, era of renaissance and baroque music. Normes for instruments are developed from baroque era until 19th Century (partly still developing!).
About the tuning: It depends on tuning difference between each viol. For example, if the tenor viol is tuned an octave lower than the descant viol, then the tuning is the same but an octave lower. If you have an alto viol (quite rare) it is tuned an fifth lower. That means you don't have instead of the highest string of the descant viol a string tuned a fith lower than the lowest string of it.
A good example for that is the viola in comparison with the violin: The violin is tuned (beginning from lowest string [always]) in G, D, A and E (in fifth); the viola is tuned in C, G, D and A (in fifth). It has instead of the high E-string an low C-string.
BTW: The cello is tuned an octave lower than the viola and the countrabass (double bass) is tuned an octave lower than the cello.
I hope you understand it because it is hard to explain without showing it.
Ditya, DJKLProductions is right in principle but mistaken in some of the details, perhaps because some of the terminology is confusing (it can vary from country to country). "Viola da gamba" can be referred to as "viol" (pronounced like "vial") or "gamba" for short - I'll use "viol" here. It came in a whole family of sizes, as you see - and many other instruments did too. We still have some instruments that come in more than one size, so it's not so unusual. In this case, the bass lasted longer into the Baroque period when the others had fallen out of use. Now, in the revival, all sizes are played, and people often play more than one size. As for tuning: The treble viol (the two instruments at left in this video) is an octave higher than the bass (the two instruments at right). The tenor viol (the middle instrument) is in between. The tuning is in fourths with one third like a guitar, except that the third is in the middle. I won't attempt to use the lettering systems that show you which octave you're in, just to say that the treble and bass go, from bottom to top: D, G, C, E, A, D. On the treble, the C string is middle C. On the bass, middle C is found on the third fret of the A string. The tenor is tuned (from bottom to top) G C F A D G, and the middle C is found on the third fret of the A string there too. The alto is rare and is said to be with either A at top and bottom or C at top and bottom. There are also instruments larger than the bass, sometimes called great bass or violone, which have G, A, or D as the outer strings (the D would be an octave lower than the bass!). If you find a seven-string bass, it is tuned like the regular bass with a low A string added - this happened in the French Baroque when they wanted it to play low bass lines. You can find out more by looking on Wikipedia or doing a search for the Viola da Gamba Society of America's information page, Alison Crum's information page, and various other places. By the way, it's a good instrument for people to take up as adults and even after retiring, because as you can see, it is played in small groups (nice for socializing), often all the lines are fairly equal to each other, and it doesn't have to be as hard as string quartet music or anything like that. You could see if someone in your area plays! :D
DJKLProductions: Except the contrabass/double bass is tuned in fourths, not fifths, and overlaps with the cello. See my other comment for more about viol tuning.
The dude with glasses is enjoying that way too much.
There appears to be some inside joke; perhaps the gal on the right is playing by watching the dude with glasses?!
Oh God, you mustn't ENJOY playing music! Not too much anyway; it should be sheer misery really.
@@clt242fg : My thoughts xktkly
Muy bueno, pero no es S D s d.
The dead family branch of the violin.
Its the dead family of the cello.
Well, viola da gamba is in a different family. They appeared in Spain in the end of the 15th century. The violins and cellos appeared in the same period but in Italia. Violin was a popular instrument and then it became very famous. When Mozart was alive, the violas were rare... They entirely disappear in the Romantic period. We have ''discovered'' viola da gamba, with a lot of other instruments, in the 20th century, when baroque music has been ''discovered''...
Nope. Different family entirely, and not dead. It languished for awhile, but is now fully alive.
The viol (viola da gamba) is not a member of the violin family but related to guitars and lute family of instruments. It has six strings and is fretted. The one difference is it is played with a bow.
@@cristinajerry4141 the viols and violas(yes the violin is actually just a small viola. So violinists you can set aside your viola jokes.) descend from the vihuelas I think. The Violas we know today are the ones related to the da braccio instrument( with the exceptions being the violoncello da spalla and da gamba, and the Contrabass, which is technically a viol.), the violas we know as viols are more on the da gamba side.
Bebop is much better
