    Unfortunately the original (renaissance ) tablature of this composition doesn't call for it. Think it only really uses the first 6 or 7 courses of the instrument. The extra courses (total 13) are there as it has been modified during the baroque era. Yet he had it tuned in viel ton rennaissnce G to play a composition around the time the unmodified instrument was originally constructed.

    @@jinters1326 To be fair, it wasn't uncommon to drop the bass an octave for some compositions and arrangements for instruments with the range. Baroque and rennaissance music isn't as dogmatic, particularly lutes, about every note being in its exactly place as written on the score.

    For a proper bass drop you need a theorbo: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o5mJxal9ZNW4gsY.html On this video actually the problem is that he is playing a lute that dates at least 100 years after the composition of the piece, dowland's lute was 6-7 courses, so he could not write a bass drop.

ESSENTIALLY, Moods are the Fruits of the Inner/ Spirit Man. Music is Mood Management. To manage is to be Successful in Doing or PRODUCING Something. Production is the birthing of a VISION.

    I've always preferred the vocal version this was later adapted into (Flow My Tears) but there's something solitary and utterly melancholic about a lachrimae for solo lute... 😊
