Transcribed for Guitar
Robert Johnson (c. 1583 – 1633) was the last of the great English
lutenists; he served Prince Henry and was later a prominent figure in
the court of Charles I. He wrote music for many plays and masques of the
time, including several by Shakespeare. Decades after Johnson’s death,
in a “Dialogue between the Author and His Lute” within Musick’s Monument
and the persona of the Lute, writer and lutenist Thomas Mace described
John Dowland and Robert Johnson as “Two famous men; Great Masters in My
Art”.
Despite such high praise and the fact that much of Johnson’s music is
well-suited to the guitar, few guitarists play it. This comprehensive
collection of solo lute works, transcribed for guitar in standard
notation, is an attempt to remedy this shortcoming. It includes music
for the beginner as well as the advanced player. The book’s 23 pieces
range from Johnson’s delightful almains, galliards, masques and a single coranto to the somber intensity of the pavans and a fantasie.
Dropped-D and lowered third-string tuning (F#) are frequently used to
better approximate the tuning and range of the 9 or 10-course
Renaissance lute.
