Luters, I am in need of the original version of 'flow my tears' (whatever the spelling) from Dowland's second book of ayres. I am specifically looking for white mensural notation and lute tablature, as well as the original lyrics in their originally printed spellings.
I know that this is in the English Lutenist Song Writers' collection of facsimiles, and I know that the volume it is in resides at UCONN, which is a mere 45 minutes away, but between my new job (yea!) and my music preparations I just don't have the time to get up there and cajole the volume to a copier. Does anyone have this one song in a PDF? My intention for use is to provide it to my family for my youngest daughter's home-school music recital. (Youngest for the moment, since, also yea!, we are in the process of adopting our foster daughter, whose chances at Dowland are still a decade and a few fortnights in the future!) Direct email responses may be better than responses to the list, copyright violation complaints as well (since it is well established that the visual print contents of facsimiles are the property of their composers and printers, and in the case of Dowland and his publisher, are quite out-of-date.) may your guts never rot, william (formerly ray, the one in CT) To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
