Dowland's First Book of Lute Songs and Ayres

Download

I formerly allowed free download of the PDF's I made of these books. I have now decided that while I get value from putting the individual pieces up for free, because people find problems and tell me about them, the work I do to put the pieces together into books should be compensated. So I'm now selling both the downloads and the hard copy on the Lulu.com laymusic store. Dowland'd First Book is here.

Here are the sources for all the Dowland on the site.

Here are the MIDI files for all the dowland on the site.
