Composed by John Dowland. Arranged by Brian Streckfus. This edition: pdf. Early Music, Historic, Instructional, Medieval, Renaissance. Tablature. 1 pages. Brian Streckfus #1045545. Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1466982).John Dowland is often associated with being a melancholic lute player and singer in the style of the Elizabethan era, earning him the moniker "Always Dowland, always doleful". If you have been looking for a composer that sounds like knights and castles on a lute, than look no further, you have found the best examplar: John Dowland.
Mr. Dowland's Midnight is an instrumental piece composed for the lute. It is a pavan, a slow and stately dance popular in Renaissance music. It is typically played in the key of E minor. Dowland's compositions, including "Mr. Dowland's Midnight" were published in collections such as "The First Booke of Songes" and "Lachrimae, or Seaven Teares."
Having hollow 5th chords (A.K.A. power chords) is a cliché rennissance trope/motif, but the piece actually uses a more complex harmonic vocabulary than one would expect for the 16th century. There certainly is a fair amount of hollow 5th though.

2. Arranged for modern standard tuning guitar instead of lute tuning
3. Obvious fingerings added (subjective fingerings left in)
