Much of the material is in my disseration on Dowland, but of course this research is now 24 years old http://www.voicesofmusic.org/tayler/dowland.html
However, even though it is out of date, some of the more controversial ideas which were thought to be far fetched at the time are now now gaining acceptance. I remember as if it were yesterday the look of total disbleif in my advisor's face when I suggested that Robert Dowland's versions were perhaps not the best versions for Dowland, and saying, in defense, well, you know, some children don't get along very well with their parents. The major difference between then and now, is that a thorough study of what exactly the musicians of that time would have known makes me view pitch and key relationships very differently. And of course there are some new sources, and I would assume that more will turn up. dt At 11:39 AM 2/22/2010, you wrote: > "Since Dowland hated Divisions. . ." This statement piques my > curiosity.
