Thanks for your kind words! The music was from the Hal Leonard book, “Cinema Classics, 15 Movie Themes arranged in Classical Style by Phillip Keveren”. HL00310607 “Lara’s Theme” on my page was from the same book! Have fun!
Interesting! It’s strange my book doesn’t give him credit. It only lists Patrick Doyle who obviously adapted it for the version used in “Sense and Sensibility”. My sheet music has no lyrics…only the piano arrangement by Phillip Keveren.
@@laramasonpiano Look up a RUclips video of Sting singing it. I don't know what Doyle did other than use it beautifully in the movie, but Dowland deserves credit in my opinion. There's no copyright protection on such an old piece. Sting did an entire album of John Dowland songs (Songs from the Labyrinth) with a lute player who is mind-blowingly good. I recommend "Can She Excuse My Wrongs?" The original by Dowland has another title, but it's the same song performed like an English gentleman in his castle might do.
@@JamesAAshton I didn't think the music was different enough for someone else to get away with taking it. But it's only my opinion. Doyle has done some wonderful work and has had no issues with this song that I know of, but Dowland deserves credit he didn't get.
Beautiful!

John Dowland wrote this song in the late 16th century.

The author of the words is unknown. Dowland set them to music. Others have subsequently set them to different music including, most recently, Doyle.
