I would have used a more lightly strung small bodied steel strung acoustic guitar to go for that John Renbourne Pentangle sound. Gone more for a period sound :) I think it is interesting because her performance uses much less vocal technique than sting and if elizabethans were untrained (which was most likely not the case) then they may have sounded more like this. English folk singing maybe contain some remnants of ballad singing from the 16th century. It is a style that is based around the text more than rock singing, so maybe has more relevance (in terms of HIP research) than what a rock singer would do with the music. What would be interesting would be to hear other rock singers sing Dowland, especially without any vocal coach from the early music world. best wishes Mark -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
