You can watch it thanks in small part due to me. This video is the only one available on KZfaq since 2010, since I am the only one who has the exclusive permission from Sting and copyright holders to keep it on my channel without a copyright strike. In my Music section playlist you can also find and watch many more Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque era music videos. Sincerely, Astrid .

This very sophisticated composition by John Dowland over 400 years ago is brilliantly brought to life by Sting and lutenist Edin Karamazov. The 4-Sting choral part around the table is historically accurate as singing books were published so each singer around a table could read their separate part. Sting consulted leading musicologists before recording John Dowland's compositions. And isn't Edin Karamazov's lute playing extraordinary?

Can she excuse my wrongs with Virtue's cloak? Shall I call her good when she proves unkind? Are those clear fires which vanish into smoke? Must I praise the leaves where no fruit I find? No, no, where shadows do for bodies stand Thou may'st be abus'd if thy sight be dimmed Cold love is like to words written on sand Or to bubbles which on the water swim Wilt thou be thus abused still Seeing that she will right thee never? If thou cans't not o'ercome her will Thy love will be thus fruitless ever Wilt thou be thus abused still Seeing that she will right thee never? If thou cans't not o'ercome her will Thy love will be thus fruitless ever Was I so base, that I might not aspire Unto those high joys which she holds from me? As they are high, so high is my desire If she this deny, what can granted be? If she will yield to that which Reason is It is Reason's will that Love should be just Dear, make me happy still by granting this Or cut off delays if that I die must Better a thousand times to die Than for to live thus still tormented Dear, but remember it was I Who for thy sake did die contented Better a thousand times to die Than for to live thus still tormented Dear, but remember it was I Who for thy sake did die contented

I hope people who are brought to this music by Sting also listen to the many other musicians who have sung and played this remarkable composer. One of the joys of this music is that there are many ways to interpret it.

@dabreu 3 жыл бұрын

John Dowland ( 1563- 1626) Why you didn't inform the name of the composer? Some may not know about him and may thing it is by Sting when Sting is only singing a musica from Shakespeare time. By the way, I love Sting intepretation and yes, I know this song by others, like for instance The Julian Bream Consort. Great, great, great, but somehow Sting's touches me more although I also like maybe because Sting is kind of magical...I felt I traveled in time. I saw myself in the Elizabethan era sitting next to him and Karamazov who is simply fantastic and added something very special to the video.

I'm pretty confident in Dowland's time without academic institutions where people "learn" how to play/interpret music for decades, there would have been much more individuality. Even if you listen to early operatic singers from 1910 on record, they sound absolutely nothing like modern classical singers with their huge and constant vibrato.

Brilliant lute playing but Sting, once again, puts posing above the emotion which should inhabit these songs by Dowland. He always looks so smug and self-satisfied. I don't think Sting can "do emotion" - see his bland and emotionless performance of The Rising in front of Bruce Springsteen. However, it is good to see him bringing this great composer to the attention of a pop-orientated audience.
