The chromatic fantasia by Rosseter, (~17:20 min. in the program), found
in the Jane Pickering lute book on fol. 23v, (see Gerbode), has
previously been attributed to Dowland. It undoubtedly is a great piece,
and sounds a lot like Dowland to me! Other lute accompaniments
(ascribed to Rosseter in the program), also have a distinct Dowland
flavour. I gather that Campion/Rosseter in their song book from 1601
were capitalizing on Dowland's success with his own First Book from
1597. Are we talking plagiarism? Rosseter must have been a fine
lutenist however, as he was hired by James I, (alongside Dowland). A
rather small production of lute pieces by him survive in the Cambridge
books as well as in continental collections (a. o. Mylius). I'd very
much like to know the arguments for ascribing the said chromatic
fantasia to Rosseter as well as include it in my list of chromatic
pieces in the previous post on the subject. I'm sure the lute society
edition (which I unfortunately don't have) contains more info.
