It was a lover and his lass appears in the play As You Like It by William Shakespeare. This version was composed by Thomas Morley as a lute song. It has a reputation for being one of the most difficult English lute songs to play on the lute. I arranged this as a mashup with John Dowland's Tremolo Fantasia (Fancy). I though both pieces complimented each other nicely.

Very good.
Excellent performance! I particularly like the way he combines the song with John Dowland's most spectacular fantasia: amazing!!

Bravissimo!!!
Formidable!
Wonderful
Wow, brilliant stuff!
Love it Brian!
Nice performance and combination. Have you tried OP? (Original pronunciation) That'd be awesome.
It sounds sound right for my personal taste, it sounds vocally speaking like broadway. I would study a few vocal treatises of the time for it to work (in my opinion, that is). The lute playing is lovely!
Thanks for the comment, Yusef. It is a modernized style and I won’t presume to say it isn’t the product of a modern war. However, I’d be interested if you could provide me with a passage from any vocal treatise of the time that contradicts what I’m doing here. The pronunciation is modern, but I’m more interested in the perception that anyone now knows how people sang back then. Treatises use words to describe sounds. Words like high, clear, and bright are subjective and can be interpreted in various ways.
