Consort Music (music for ensemble, originally for 5 viols) by John Dowland, arranged for 2 guitars by Tilman Hoppstock. John Dowland's compositions for instrumental ensemble (consort music) are no less significant than his works for solo lute and the four-volume oeuvre of songs with lute accompaniment. From this body of work, Tilman Hoppstock has selected five particularly compelling pieces and enriched the volume with two further pieces ("Sleep Wayward" and "Forlon Hope Fancy"), which he has arranged in the style of a consort for two guitars. Includes a detailed preface in English and German and complete fingerings.
