This song was top #1 of medieval Europe radio stations for years.
Not medieval. The piece was probably composed around 1588.

My wife walked down the aisle to this song rather than the traditional bridal chorus. This song will always remain with me. Thank you Mr. Dowland for creating such beautiful music, and thanks to the artists who can replicate such beauty.
What a nice choice. I bet your wedding was a lovely affair.

Loved it but was waiting for the bass drop all time, those low strings looked so ready for it
Wintergatan omg hi Wintergatan- Dowland’s music is lovely isn’t it
Didn't expect you here haha :D
Unfortunately the original (renaissance ) tablature of this composition doesn't call for it. Think it only really uses the first 6 or 7 courses of the instrument. The extra courses (total 13) are there as it has been modified during the baroque era. Yet he had it tuned in viel ton rennaissnce G to play a composition around the time the unmodified instrument was originally constructed.
@@jinters1326 To be fair, it wasn't uncommon to drop the bass an octave for some compositions and arrangements for instruments with the range. Baroque and rennaissance music isn't as dogmatic, particularly lutes, about every note being in its exactly place as written on the score.
For a proper bass drop you need a theorbo: ruclips.net/video/qeUcGD4rRRc/видео.html
On this video actually the problem is that he is playing a lute that dates at least 100 years after the composition of the piece, dowland's lute was 6-7 courses, so he could not write a bass drop.

Just this instrument alone is a priceless masterpiece. I'd be afraid to touch it.

Do not be afraid. Lutes are very light but surprisingly robust. However, you should not drop it 🙂

There is no good way to have the plague. What an imbecilic, tasteless comment.
I find it amazing how good some people can get in an instrument. Not only that, but also how incredibly emotional some people can make music. There is just so much more to music than just playing of the sheet.

John Dowland was one of Elizabethan England's finest composers. He was held in high esteem by the Queen.
Not enough esteem to give him a job, though! As a result of this he spent most of his career working in foreign courts. He moans about it in some of his letters. I think he did finally receive an English court appointment late in life.
He was Catholic in an Anglican country. There is evidence that the queen did invite him to do private recitals. Also evidence that while in Italy he spied on English Catholics and reported to Walsingham.
Being a Catholic wasn't a problem for William Byrd to be hired as the court lutenist
fnersch AND HE WAS FUCKING 🔥🔥🔥
@@emrebaskocak William Byrd wasn't always Catholic, and when he did become one he did in fact get in trouble.
That said, as a musician he probably didn't pose much of a treat, so he didn't incur as much wrath as he could have.
Oh I love this performance. So beautiful. Beautiful instrument, beautifully played and such a beautiful setting. The music sounds harp-like and noble.
He's playing a 16th century artifact lute??!!
love John Dowland, wonderful performance, thank you.💛
I played this for my lady Guinevere and she was so overcome with a case of the vapors I am flummoxed if she will recover in a fortnight.
I understand echinachea is good for the vapors.
@uneedtherapy42
Except they didn't talk like that in the 1500s. "Flummoxed" is a 19th century word. The term "case of the vapors" is also from around that time. Plus, you sort of your used it wrong as well.
@@bobtaylor170 Echinacea is an American herb. The American tribes were using it long before the 16th century, however, even with the "Americas" having already been discovered, I don't believe that lady "Guinevere" would have had access to it, just yet as it certainly was not used in Europe around that time.
There, all fixed. 9 months later.
uneedtherapy42 classy but I am the real Lute troll look for my work in the Weby Lute donjons of the tube
Blistering speed would've been great. An instrument such as this would need a Mary Sue.

What beautiful music and what a beautiful sounding instrument. Bravo!
The workmanship on the instrument is INCREDIBLE. The close up at 3:47 is blowing my mind.
Thank you. It was very nice to hear such a beautiful music plaid on a ancient instrument.
An Ash Wednesday performance? Lovely, at any rate.
this is a beautiful piece played masterfully. also a shout out to the luthier who labored many long times building this lute especially the sound holes that must of been one tedious job.
Yes, isn’t it gorgeous?!
Like from heaven!
Played so sensitively touching
Thank you💝
So glad to know that there are still persons that have mastered this beautiful and ancient art and are teaching to New generations
Imagine trying to do a barre with this instrument...
which i am.
I don't think it would be that hard... You can actually see the musician incorporating them throughout the video. Unless you mean across the entire width of the neck... then yeah, that'd most likely be impossible for most, if not all, players.
Not much point, as basses are tuned to a scale.
Broken Brushes: OUCH !!
No good for a noisy barre , but should be good in a high class restaurant or the opening of an art exhibition.
Thanks to 1Q84
yes, the dowager has wonderful taste in music
This song is interesting and nice like the 1Q84 novel 👍🏽

Estou aqui por causa da Brasil Paralelo
Brilliant! I admire tremendously your passion and dedication to this marvelous music and remarkable musical instrument. Bravissimo, Maestro!
This music is beautiful. The skill to make it on this instrument is amazing. Well done! 🥰
Such a beautiful melody and such a tender sound. And of course an outstanding performance. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I've always preferred the vocal version this was later adapted into (Flow My Tears) but there's something solitary and utterly melancholic about a lachrimae for solo lute... 😊
I accompanied a tenor on that, and a couple other Dowland songs. I also prefer the vocal version.
@Eddie Bravo (Your ignorance is showing)
I was wondering which was first, this or "Flow My Tears"
@@Bassman911 There is little doubt the pavan came first.

Haruki Murakami Brought me here. 1Q84 is lovely to read while listening to the music describe in the particular scene. Makes you feel like you are in the very scene itself while the characters talk.
Makes me wish i had a playlist off all those songs in there.
Interesting. Rose Tremain brought me here.
Same here 😊
Wow, what a performance.... i'm so impressed. This instrument has more than 20 strings and I struggle with 6.... 👏👏👏
Yes. A beautiful performance. I struggle with three valves.
I've never heard Flow my Tears so slow, but it has a lovely atmospheric, intimate feeling. Exquisite phrasing!
Beautiful, the right hand technique is amazing, I play more or less same arr on guitar but to see forefinger above thumb looks so strange, I first saw Elizabeth Wilson playing same. I really enjoyed that thank you. Gerard lacey in Ireland.
peggy lacey , I agree about the right hand . Classical guitarist here also.
Thank you so much for posting this magnificent performance!
just an amazing piece of music, really amazing, and i guess very well played
and well beyond the scope of today's popular celebrity so so zombie pop music
Gorgeous music beautifully executed
Someone was killed?
I want to go to this wonderful room and listen this nice music!
Thank you.
Muito bonito, expressivo, uma das melhores interpretações que já ouvi. Bravo!
That was beautiful...however the ass pain of restringing it kept flashing into my mind every few seconds
lmao this is a cakewalk. Re-string a Harp and you'll have a new nightmare
@@aSinisterKiid if you decide the pegs are to tight and some are not round it takes a few hours with a coffee break or two!
@@noelturner7576 True, but still after all the time you take the lute stays in tune. THE HARP HOWEVER, 47 strings that never stay in tune lol
Wow! What a beautiful interpretation of this John Dowland masterpiece! ;)
Wonderful performance! Thank you for sharing. Remarkable skills from every point of view: pleasant sound, full command of the strings, balanced sound, poetic imagination
When the bard rolls a 20
Now I see why all the old paintings of lute players had their hands in that cupped shape! Looking at the lute, i just assumed it was played like a guitar.
Its doubled stringed too, except for the bottom one and the top two
I like the sound of lute more than guitar
Arceus me too and I play guitar.
A rounded belly gives a rounder tone?!?
Yes, the lute has more influence from nature in its sound due to the strings being in courses. Gives it a more open sound, more alive. Guitars can sound very straight ahead and somewhat dull if not played by a master.
Hell yes
If only you could tune it as easily. It comes out of tune after only a few songs, takes forever to tune. Does sound nice when you finally get it there, just not worth the hassle.
This is not normally my kind of music at all, but the skills of the musician made it captivating.
Huh. He plays with his thumb under his fingers. Like how I played classical guitar at age 8, before my teacher corrected me. Is this normal for the lute/theobro family? Curious.
1Q84 sure has great suggestions on instrumentals!
Cudos to presentation of music and the background atmosphere, well done.....
Wow!unbelievable.and so clean
Hats off 2 this man
@Martin G lol
Murakami brought me here.
Who's that?
I read a book once, too.
The same...1Q84
👍🏻
Music for the soul. Excellent performance Maestro
Awesome music. I love the pieces from this time period. Playing them on guitar is quite the challenge I must say. First artist from this period I was intrigued with. Began to play classical guitar in 1981, where I was introduced to J.S. Bach.and have loved it ever since
the variations that Dowland wrote on Lacrhimae are beloved by my viola da gamba group. We play all of them at least once a month.
beyonce: puts out one album every 3 years
media: she's the greatest
john dowland: writes TWO HUNDERED pieces for lute
media: who???
like if ur sick of media bias against john dowland (1563-1626)!

Merci M. Murakami
Gracias a 1Q84.
Gracias, Haruki Murakami.
I remember when they played this at my wedding in a past life.
😂👏🏼
Chris, very beautiful! is this a baroque lute tuned to Renaissance tuning? or a transcription for Baroque lute?
this Tieffenbrucker lute has been heavily modified since originally built, yet it is strung and tuned in standard renaissance tuning as it would have been when it was first built. All of the compositions played on these MET videos by Mr. Morrongiello are within 5-25 years of when the instruments first appeared
@@jinters1326 I thought so about the tuning. I can hear that it isn't the usual A440 pitch. For some reason, my father kept the spinet we had when I was a child tuned like this and it was my first standard of reference for tones. Until I was older and learned that notes were identified by letters of the alphabet, I identified them by the colors they brought into my mind. A440 colors were always never quite right.
Lachrimae means, roughly, tears.
Appropos.

OMG! HAHAH!How would you remember that, HAHAHA
Que buen oído
I don't get it.
God gracious you are right !
I really love the way Dowland resolves chords
Not sure why, but this instrument sounds so oriental..
Thank you YT recommendation
love the sound, thanks for the 'guts' to do this Chris!
Wonderful in every way. Thank you The Met!
Great recording of Chistopher Morrongiello breathing, but it's a shame that sometimes the lute overpowers it.
he's gonna practice holding his breath for 5 mins to make you happy! ?????
Yngsatchvai ha ha.😇 itsianlol can hold his breath for the intire performance, and then kick his own ass. Dinkydoo!!!
loved the video, but itsianlol THAT was funny! :)
Are you also going to listen to Glenn Gould just for his humming?!? :-O
this music was written for humans who breath you know ...
Anybody trying to play that sadomasochistic instrument deserves respect
This is a really unusual episode of Check it Out with Dr Steve Brule
jesus that must a 2 hour string job to replace every one of those big bastards
just about to say the same thing

I can hardly imagine tuning on of those I have hard enough time with a mandolin which is only four courses....
Do It Now! video's yeah! By the time you get to the top string, the Bottom One is out ! (Again!)
Someone remarked during the baroque period that if a lutenist lived to be 80 years of age, he would have spent 60 of those years turning his lute.
Imagine a harp!
how many courses/strings are required to be able to play this? is the baroque lute required to play this?

Beautiful! So cool that it was played on an instrument from the same time the music was composed. Absolutely lovely, thanks!
People will be commenting on this in 70 years time you mark my words
Which one? Dowland wrote about 2 dozen songs called Lachrimae in one form or another. Guess he died from drowning in tears.
The common name of this one, taken from the first line, is "Flow, my tears," but I'm guessing you already knew that and are making a joke?
@@puresoundreviews8562 Yes. Glad you caught it.
John Dowland later added Lyrics to it it's called Flow My Tears
Beautifully played. Thank you for sharing it.
