    Dowland t'est cher, qui touche le luth divinement et ravit l'oreille humaine - Richard Barnfield, 1598.
    Qu'y a-t-il dans la musique pour luth de John Dowland pour qu'elle soit la plus belle de sa génération, à travers toute l'Europe ? Tout - la richesse mélodique, la diversité de formes, l'émouvante beauté de l'harmonie et l'originalité de l'invention, sans oublier la sensibilité de son jeu, ainsi qu'en témoigne Richard Barnfield. Et quelle est la source d'un art aussi exceptionnel ? Une conception élevée de sa tâche, étayée par une formation qui semble avoir été conventionnelle, mais exceptionnellement poussée.
    -
    Il dit lui-même (dans ses Songes de 1597) : « Dès l'enfance, j'ai toujours aspiré au doux métier de musicien. » À l'âge de dix-sept ans (âge habituel de l'entrée en apprentissage), il était « en France, au service de Sir Henry Cobham, ambassadeur de Sa Majesté la Reine ». Habituellement, l'apprentissage durait sept ans, soit jusqu'à l'âge de vingt-quatre ans, et, bien que nous n'ayons aucune preuve de la présence de Dowland en France après 1584, il est tout à fait possible qu'il soit resté auprès de Sir Henry Brooke Cobham jusqu'en 1587. L'année suivante, il passa une licence ès musique à l'Université d'Oxford, bientôt suivie par une autre licence à Cambridge - « licencié ès musique des deux Universités », comme il l'annonça fièrement sur la page de titre de sa première publication. Nous ne connaissons aucun autre musicien de cette époque qui ait été licencié à la fois d'Oxford et de Cambridge - premier symptôme de perfectionnisme. À cela succédèrent d'« excellents maîtres » en Allemagne en 1595. Il cita nommément le luthiste Gregorio Howet d'Anvers et le chanteur et instrumentiste Alessandro Orologio qui, un an plus tard, publia un livre de chansons à trois voix et luth, et c'est peut-être sur ces dernières que Dowland prit modèle pour ses propres chansons au luth de 1597. Dowland se rendit ensuite en Italie pour des « conférences familières » avec Giovanni Croce, élève de Zarlino et musicien à Saint-Marc de Venise, après quoi il eut « envie d'aller à Rome pour étudier avec un célèbre musicien nommé Luca Marenzio Quelle formation musicale, poussée au delà de ses trente ans, et quelle diversité dans les influences dont il s'imprégna - et non seulement celles de luthistes!
    -
    Bien que nous connaissions les principaux événements de sa carrière, nous ne cernerons probablement jamais une personnalité que ses contemporains trouvèrent difficile par certains aspects. À vingt-neuf ans, comment put-il manquer de tact au point de se plaindre publiquement à la reine Elisabeth et de dire tant joué de mes doigts que j'ai étouffé le jeu de la chance » ? Rien d'étonnant à ce que la Reine ne se soit pas sentie obligée de lui octroyer une place à la cour. Et, deux ans plus tard, quand il « postula humblement... [se] croyant le plus digne » de l'emploi vacant de luthiste de la cour, il ne fut pas engagé. Bien qu'il ait eu de « bons et honorables amis qui parlèrent de [lui] », il vit qu'il « allait devoir y renoncer, & que tout autre que [lui] aurait la préférence». Il ajouta: « Je supposai que ma religion constituait un obstacle . . . j'ai été écarté de toutes les faveurs parce que je pratique la religion catholique ; j'ai su que Sa Majesté, que l'on entretenait de moi, avait dit que j'étais digne de servir n'importe quel prince en ce monde, mais que j’étais un obstiné papiste. »
    -
    Le peu d'empressement que la Reine mit à employer Dowland dut cependant avoir d'autres causes que son catholicisme (il s'était converti alors qu'il était adolescent à Paris). Après tout, la Reine n'avait aucun problème avec William Byrd, catholique militant qui eut de nombreux démêlés avec la justice. Dowland se plaignait de ne pas comprendre la messe, ce qui, s'il fait allusion à la langue latine, est faux : en 1609, il publia la traduction d'un traité de musique rédigé en latin. La vacance survenue en 1594 dura quatre ans et s'étendit donc au delà du moment où Dowland trouva un emploi à l'étranger : le fait donne penser que la Reine avait de très bonnes raisons de ne pas vouloir de cet homme dans son entourage (quelque brillant luthiste qu'il ait pu être), et un musicien royal était physiquement très proche de la souveraine.
    -
    Dans les préfaces qu'ils écrivirent à leurs publications, certains compositeurs de l'époque, Robert Jones en particulier, s'attachèrent à prévenir de possibles critiques, ce qui semble avant tout témoigner d'un manque d'assurance. Dowland les surpassa cependant tous avec le « To the Reader» qu'il écrivit pour A Pilgrimes Solace (1612). Pour panser son orgueil blessé, il y énuméra huit villes étrangères où sa musique avait été publiée : « Oui, et certaines pièces ont même paru par privilège royal de l'Empereur », et éreinta les jeunes « maîtres de luth qui, de façon désobligeante pour ceux qui les ont précédés (et j'en suis), se vantent que jamais personne ne les égala par le passé... voici... divers étrangers venus d'au-delà des mers qui déclarent devant nous que nous n'avons pas de véritable méthode ou façon de doigter au luth ».

      *SUITE DU COMMENTAIRE CI-DESSUS.*
      En dépit de cette accusation de conservatisme, Dowland semble avoir suivi de près les améliorations que son époque apporta à la technique de jeu et à la facture de luth. Il commença probablement jouer sur un luth à six choeurs - il dit un jour qu'il était né « seulement trente ans après» la Tabulatur de Hans Gerle (1533), et on peut donc supposer qu'il connaissait le répertoire du luth six choeurs. Parmi les pièces pour luth seul et les accompagnements d'airs qu'il a publiés en 1597, 1600 et 1603, la plupart sont écrits pour luth à sept chœurs, mais, de 1604 (Lachrimae) la fin de sa vie (soit le Board Lute Book auquel il contribua dans les années 1620), il semble que Dowland ait joué d'un luth neuf choeurs.
      Dans ses « Other necessary obseruations belonging to the lute», Dowland recommandait d'accorder les deux cordes de chaque choeur à l'unisson, « même si l'usage général (bien moins répandu ailleurs qu'ici en Angleterre) veut qu'une petite corde soit accordée avec une grande [c'est-à-dire accorder les choeurs graves par octaves], les musiciens instruits ayant abandonné cet usage comme contraire aux règles de la musique Dans son new Booke of Tabliture (1596) qui contient quelques pièces pour luth seul de Dowland, Barley affirme que les 4e, 5e et 6e choeurs devraient être accordés par octaves ; on peut donc supposer qu'au début, Dowland joua d'un luth où ces trois choeurs étaient accordés par octaves, et qu'il les accorda ultérieurement à l'unisson.
      À propos de la technique de main droite, Johann Stobaeus (1580-1646) rapporte que Dowland (et Howet, qui pourrait bien en avoir donné l'idée à Dowland) passa de la technique « pouce en dedans » au jeu « pouce en dehors » (ausswertz nit einwertz). Cette nouvelle technique produisait un son « plus pur, plus incisif, plus clair » (Klinget reiner, scherffer u. heller), au lieu d'une « sonorité faible et étouffée » (klinget garfaull u. diimpffg). La « forte résonance » (der resonansfein Starck klinge) ainsi obtenue fut peut-être recherchée dans la perspective de concerts de plus grande envergure ainsi que pour l'accompagnement de la voix. Besard recommanda cette technique dans sa méthode de 1603, et Dowland l'aura sans doute adoptée vers 1610, quand il en fit figurer la traduction dans Varietie of Lute-lessons.
      Toutes les formes utilisées par les luthistes de l'époque apparaissent dans les quelque cent pièces pour luth seul de Dowland. Il eut assez de curiosité intellectuelle pour écrire une fantaisie sur le thème de l'In Nomine et assez d'esprit d'à-propos (tout comme l'aurait fait un compositeur de la musique de la Reine) pour saluer le capitaine Thomas Candish au retour de sa circumnavigation en 1588 par une gaillarde - que sa forme en deux parties place assurément parmi ses premières compositions. Il eut assez de génie mélodique et harmonique pour écrire un air à succès - Lachrimae qui émut toute l'Europe et fut la composition la plus célèbre de son temps.
      Comme nombre de grands musiciens, Dowland fit de fréquents emprunts à d'autres compositeurs ou les imita : sa Farewell Fancy pourrait devoir son titre et son thème chromatique ascendant au « I'll sing my faint farewell » de Thomas Weelkes, soit à la partie finale de son madrigal « Cease sorrows now» (1597). La fin de la Fantasia (P 1) rappelle la version pour orgue du « Felix namque» de Tallis. Parmi ses airs, « Would my conceit» emprunte au « Ahi dispietata morte» de Marenzio, et « Come, heavy sleep» au « Vedro'l mio sol » de Caccini. Ses titres pleins de fantaisie frappent encore l'imagination Mistress Winter's Jump, My Lady Hunsdon's Puff, Semper Dowland Semper Dolens, Mrs. White 's Thing, Tarlton 's Resurrection.
      Le recours au procédé du contrafactum - Lachrimae/Flow my tears, Essex' Galliard/Can she excuse, et d'autres - produit un effet inattendu : le poème, qui est ajouté à la composition instrumentale, illustre le phrasé de Dowland. Par exemple, de nombreuses gaillardes devraient être accentuées sur le deuxième temps de la première mesure, et non sur le premier, de façon à montrer qu'elles commencent pour moitié par une hémiole. « Can she excuse... » obéit à l'accentuation d'un pentamètre iambique normal, ce qui indique la place de l'accent musical.
      Dowland vécut une époque où l'improvisation était une tradition vivante et sans doute joua-t-il sans disposer de partition devant lui - la plupart des manuscrits qui sont parvenus jusqu'à nous ont été copiés par ou pour des amateurs, et non pour des professionnels. Le fait que plusieurs compositions de Dowland soient restées à différents stades de développement et d'élaboration (voir P 9, 40, 42, 44) donne à penser qu'il n'en exista jamais de version définitive. Les diminutions sont parfois notées dans la musique de danse (pavanes, gaillardes, allemandes, etc.), mais, en leur absence, un professionnel de cette époque les aurait systématiquement improvisées. (Quand elles font défaut dans les sources originales des pièces enregistrées ici, Paul O'Dette a apporté les siennes).
      Un ami et voisin qui vécut près de Dowland dans Fetter Lane lui fut d'une aide considérable dans l'avancement de sa carrière : Henry Peacham, qui, en 1612, fit honte aux personnes au pouvoir et les amena à engager Dowland à la cour (Minerva Britanna, p. 74) : « Depuis (vieil ami) que les ans ont blanchi ta tête et que, pour d'autres, tu as consumé ton printemps, combien peu t'estiment parmi ceux que tu enchantas et qui vinrent de tous côtés t'entendre chanter : temps ingrat, âge indigne que le nôtre qui nous laisse languir quand il a cueilli nos fleurs. »
      C'est assurément ce poème qui décida de l'engagement de Dowland comme luthiste à la cour de Sa Majesté le Roi en octobre de la même année. Sa personnalité apparemment difficile eut besoin de tous les appuis possibles. Citons encore Peacham (The Compleat Gentleman, 1622, p. 198) : « À propos de mon bon ami le Doct. Dowland, eu égard au fait qu'il a laissé échapper de nombreuses occasions d'avancer sa fortune, excellent luthiste comme tous ceux de notre nation, de plus, l'un de nos plus grands Maîtres de Musique pour la composition... » Deux ans auparavant, Peacham, toujours lui, publiait une épigramme (Thalia's Banquet, sig.C8v) dédiée au « Maître Docteur Dowland», situant ainsi son doctorat - probablement celui de l'Université d'Oxford - une année plus tôt que ce que l'on pensait jusque-là : « Sous tes mots Hinc illae lachrimae, un luth vénitien couvert de lauriers. »
      Un autre résumé de l'oeuvre exceptionnel de Dowland naquit en 1621 sous la plume d'un autre écrivain et poète, le docteur en médecine Thomas Lodge (A Learned Summary,
      p. 264) : « La musique. . . ravit bien plus l'esprit par la mélodie que Bacchus par le goût du vin ou Vénus par les plaisirs charnels. Voilà qui me fait admirer le Docteur Dowland, ornement d'Oxford... dont le concert musical (par sa nature aérienne) ayant été mis en mouvement, transporte le corps, et par un air purifié, entraîne l'esprit aérien de l'âme et le mouvement du corps : par les affects, il touche à la fois les sens et l'âme ; par la signification, il agit sur l'esprit : pour conclure, par le véritable mouvement de l'air subtil, il pénètre avec violence, et, par la contemplation, il aspire doucement ; par son ton paisible, il inspire un merveilleux plaisir ; par sa nature à la fois spirituelle et matérielle, il ravit le tout en lui-même et fait qu'un homme n'est plus que Musique et se dévoue tout entier à sa cause : ceci en mémoire de son excellence. »

      Music is an intelectual practice and spiritual experience. People convince themselves that it is all kinds of other things that have nothing to do with music in reality. It's because popular opinion is dictated by the ignorant. It doesn't really make sense that people who don't play music or know about it should act like its a never ending competition and constantly judge it. It simply doesn't exist for people to formulate opinions and that practice is actually both nonsensical and paradoxical. Everything truly is music and Music is an immense spectrum of different dimensions of sonic energy that are imbued with and emit emotional qualities in a very direct, specific, and obvious way that is also completely amorphus, ambigous, and very difficult to comprehend conciously, but it's there.

Also no tax counselors, no cheap motor cycles, stronger family bonds, a different mind set towards life. Today, on the other hand, RUclips allows a great majority to enjoy Mr. O'Dette's Dowland interpretation, rather than only a small group at court. And that's a marvel. I'd still refuse to think that life in the 16th century was worse than ours in all aspects. In many, yes, but not in all.

      Melancholy? I think the music sounds more sunny in a calm way. Like watching the beauty of pure nature in spring. The river flowing through the woods, with rays of sunlight making it through the pines, birds celebrating the warmer and easier season, a deer and her child eating grass, while a farmer leans against a tree for a short break, enjoying some whine and bread. Maybe it depends on the viewer, but I imagine such music describes how life was like back then. The nicer side of it.

    Dear Heart: a short time ago, I found a video that had gorgeous lute music (found out it was John Dowland...) and there were two actors who presented two of Shakespeare's sonnets to commemorate a year of no theater performances. I burst into tears - perhaps grief held in for far too long because of what we had to navigate during the pandemic. I find the lute music brings some melancholy but it also brings a sublime beauty that is almost aching - and the tears wash away the grief of the last 12-14 months. Thank you for this sublime beauty. All Love

    Paul Odette has the rock/ jazz background to really bring the funk to Dowland.
    If you've ever listened to Thelonious Monk, you can hear how everything has been done. Whether, the lazy triplets or the egg rolling end to end down an incline, it's all the same.
    I found it delightful that Jerry Coker is writing about the use of drones in jazz.
    It's all good, something I learned in all my callow spotty jazz youth at a bluegrass jam. Every type of music swings as hard as the players 8magination.
    Come to Miami maestro Odette. 🎶🎶🎶
