Daniel Thomson
Lecture: A new edition of Dowland’s Songbooks
Dowland's songs were originally printed in the innovative 'table book' format – 4 parts in a single opening facing different ways – but how should we print them?
Of the many ways attempted to date, none seems to satisfy everyone. Daniel Thomson, a leading interpreter of these songs, presents his solutions to the problems in his new edition of the songbooks.
