Robert Dowland (1591-1641) - Almain (also Almande, Allemande)

----------

An easy piece from this obscure but talented English luthenist, who also happens
to be the son of the well known John Dowland.

Transcribed in A from the original renaissance lute score. Spacing rigorously
indicates notes length, both with vertical bars above the tab lines. The original
score contained ornamentations, but as it is an easy piece I let this part free
to the player's will. Standard guitar tuning E A D G B E - mi la re sol si mi.
