November 2002 NEWLY REPRINTED AT THE ORIGINAL LARGE SIZE (12 x 9
inches).Each song is here presented with its accompaniment written out
twice:
- Once in tablature, which is very easy to read and can be played
either on a lute, or easily on a guitar with the third string
tuned down from G to F sharp;
- and once in ordinary guitar notation for guitar with the third
string tuned to G as usual, so that it can be played on a normal
guitar in the usual way.
You can see how it works by looking at the first song here,
"Come again!", page 1 and page 2 (pdf files).

The book contains the following songs:
- Come again! sweet Love doth now invite
- Sleep, wayward thoughts
- Awake, sweet love
- Flow, my tears [Dowland's most famous song]
- I saw my lady weep
- Shall I sue
- Flow not so fast, ye fountains
- Say, Love, if ever thou didst find
- Sweet, stay awhile
- To ask for all thy love
- Stay, Time, awhile thy flying
- Time stands still
The vocal range is not high at all if the songs are sung with a normal
guitar: only up to D or E at most. If the songs are sung with a
lute in G, then the voice sings a minor third higher, up to E or F or
G except three songs which only go up to D.
The very fine calligraphy in this edition was done by Barry Mason,
who nowadays (2003) is the owner of the Spanish Guitar Centre in
Cranbourn Street, London.
