John Dowland: Melancholy Galliard & Allemande, Classical Guitar

John Dowland (1563-1626) was composer and musician at the court of King Christian IV of Denmark and later a lutenist at the court of of King James I of England. He composed and dedicated many lute pieces to the English royalty and aristocracy of the time including Queen Elizabeth I, the Earl of Essex and many more. He also composed many songs. He is noted for indulging his taste for melancholy as is clear from the titles of many of his works, such as Melancholy Galliard, Flow My Tears, and others.
An almain, also known as alman or Allemande (meaning German) is a dance form originating in the Renaissance Period and is commonly found in later suites of the Baroque Period, e.g., the lute and orchestral suites of J.S. Bach.
