This is one of my favorite songs regardless of era! A wonderful performance as well.

[@danbluedeer]

Thanks Rob!

One year today, I’m 13 and love this song. I still come back to watch this every so often, good job!

[@danbluedeer]

Herbii --thanks so much for watching!

[@pip5528]

Quite a unique take on one of my favorite 16th century tunes, bringing it to the 17th century.

[@danbluedeer]

Thank you, Sam

[@silverMancunian8601]

Happy days learning to play this on the piano. I don't read music. I just listen and have a go. Thank you for the beautiful music 👍

[@danbluedeer]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Nebelwerfer999]

Thank you very much for this, Mr. Estrem!
I've been listening to several pieces for lute these last few days (mostly Dowland) and I had the good fortune of finding your video and rejoicing some more in the beauty of this wondrous instrument.
Please accept my congratulations on your fantastic playing and a warm hug from an amateur pianist here in Mexico!

I'm 68 years old. Have played guitar for a number of years. Now taking up the lute (8 course Renaissance). This is the first piece I am trying to learn.

Were double stringed lutes common during the Renaissance? I've only seen eight string lutes before. Beautiful sound from this instrument and performer.

[@danbluedeer]

Thank You! yes, the double strings were used on the renaissance lute, except for the top single string. I'm playing the baroque lute here which also has double strings (courses) except for the top 2 strings. I'm also using single strings for strings 3, 4, & 5
is that confusing enough?

[@heathereastin540]

This. All of this.

[@danbluedeer]

and more! Thanks for listening

[@Roman-Turovsky]

excellent.

Thanks Mark let's see, it goes (high to low) FDAFDAGFEDC

[@nathalie_desrosiers]

Lute newbie here. Is there's a specific reason (regarding lute playing) why you play with an "almost-glove" ?

[@danbluedeer]

sleeve gives extra forearm padding and it keeps me warm in my frigid studio. It's also become kind of a Michael Jackson glove fetish

The difficulties are overcome if you have the passion for the music.

@@danbluedeer I live in a city in Italy so I am not sure if there is someone who teaches it but I will try my best to buy one and then find a professional lute player like you

well, somebody liked the song so much that they made a Christmas song out of it many years after its anonymous origin

Baroque is better than renaissance.

lutes or time periods? I like 'em both
