Due to errors on the part of my sources, these pieces are being temporarily withdrawn. Although Lute-songs are outside the original intent of these websites, I had included them here to give a more complete picture of Master Dowland's work, but I would rather not mis-lead those who have found my sites helpful. I will be exploring other sources for these works and will remove this notice when that effort yields better fruit.                                                                              Brian
