Hi Howard, You might be interested in this video which summarizes some of the research carried out by David Crystal et al on English pronunciation at the time of Shakespeare (and Dowland) and the productions of his plays at the Globe theatre using 'Original Pronunciation': https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gPlpphT7n9s There is also an interesting book edited by Timothy McGee entitled 'Singing Early Music - the pronunciation of European languages in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance'. Best, Matthew
