He has broad taste in music, and I think that we might hear more of it if the rock/pop of the late 20th century wasn't so lucrative in the context of his audience.

Lyrics: 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 dim 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 canst not o'ercome her will The 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 yeld to that which reason is It is Reason's will that Love should be just Dear make me happy still be granting this Or cut off delays if that die I 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 contended

So what I’m getting from this is a resolution that a loveless relationship is terrible. And that she should actually start loving him, or they should break up. In this case the singer is being dramatic by saying he would rather die than continue in the relationship. Unless they were married, which at the time would be one of the only outcomes.

@@defendfreedom1390 I wouldn’t say it’s primitive, not really. The meaning of the song is simple, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Songs don’t need to be grand or complex, as long as they get their point across. In fact, I’d say that meaning and lyric-wise it’s par with most pop songs. Which is pretty much what this was, anyway.

@jean-francoisbedel8916 12 күн бұрын

Bream is a historical version and that is above all its interest. Because his lute sound with a stop technique in the right hand and on a baroque lute for renaissance music is quite inaudible. As for Sting, the musician is so friendly and sincere that we forgive him his infatuation with Dowland and the accuracy of his voice, limited in this repertoire. Without being a purist, when it's just accompanied correctly on a renaissance lute and sung with a straight voice without operatic vibrato, it changes everything...And there is no shortage of good performers... In the instrumental versions alone, Paul O'dette is undoubtedly the most incredible lutenist having recorded the complete John Dowland (5 CDs which are a real treasure!)...For voices, countertenors are sometimes required. For this song by Dowland, Andreas Scholl is top notch !

I recall how traditional lutenists expressed their dismay that Bream's lutes were too large and too loud. When one hears however how his instrument is able to keep up in an ensemble in a large hall, one realizes that Bream was wise to commission such instruments. I'm thankful that I have a large-body Padua lute which was modeled after Bream's 8-course lute.

It is nice to see so many people (and guitarists) learning about this music from Rick Beato - much respect. And while I love everything Julian Bream plays even his lute music, I do have to point out that he does not really play properly (I know that sounds nerdy inside stuff) He plays like a modern classical guitarist and even the lute he had built (the one in this video which is a baroque lute) was built very much like a modern classical guitar. He uses nail and strikes the strings in a very hard manner. Also, the fast notes are usually played alternating thumb and index finger, not index finger middle finger. Of course he needed to keep his nails for is main gig so I get it. Also, he was so popular his adopting Renaissance music really helped bring it to the forefront, so he is important just from that point. But if interested try to seek out performances where they use the more accepted period technique. It really makes a difference. The instrument sounds much more intimate. Here is a video by lutenist Jacob Heringman. He has amazing technique. This really is such wonderful music and I think has a pathos much needed today. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecmHlcV-sMCXe4E.htmlsi=NJJCMZJZpqi-t1qB

Marvelous performance. He's really singing this in character of Essex, the poor bastard. QEI ran Essex around unmercifully -- it is still an open question whether this indignant text is his and "dedicated" to her. Dowland had the sense (or survival instinct) to print only the song before the Queen's death, and the instrumental version with Essex's name on it after Elizabeth and Essex were both dead.
