Copyvio
editI believe the Bot is in error here.
Note: the above comment appears to relate to issue of a possible copyvio of http://www.lieder.net/lieder/get_text.html?TextId=714. (which has the lyrics of the song). See Wikisource for the lyrics. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 10:25, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Musical Banquet (1610)
editI have rewritten the article mentioning the first publication of the song in 1597. I assume the reference to publication in 1610 is an error, in any case the 1597 publication has precedence. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 08:01, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
Sample
editThinking of adding an audio sample. Thoughtfortheday is there any recording you would have a preference for that I might try and track down. Please dont say Sting. Ceoil (talk) 20:16, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
- Have the Julian Bream version. Ceoil (talk) 20:36, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
- Bream may well be a good idea. He worked with at least two tenors both dead now, Peter Pears and later Robert Tear....Tear makes a good job of projecting the words imo. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 20:58, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
- My recording is taken from "Un Soir À La Cour - Lute Songs & Lute".[1] Unable to locate the name of the person singing, but it aint no tenor. Ceoil (talk) 21:06, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
- I don't know this recording, but the credits says it's a counter-tenor. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 21:15, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
- Its a beautiful voice none the less and probably the best version I've stumbled on so far. Am inclined to go with this. Ceoil (talk) 05:58, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
- That's fine. I didn't mean to imply there's anything wrong with counter-tenors singing the song. Dowland's intro to the First Book says any type of voice will do (although people will obviously have preferences as to what voice range is more appropriate for a given song). The song is printed as if the top line (soprano) is singing the words. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 07:57, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
- Understood. Bear with me. Ceoil (talk) 08:51, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Added a section, the allowed 30 seconds that reflects the song best in my openion. You might disgree, and if you would prefer a different sect, I could put the full version on youtube or someting and you can instruct based on that. Ceoil (talk) 22:11, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
- The audio clip sounds fine to me. I think the attribution to the artists involved could be clearer, as the album title given doesn't relate to one of Bream's recording in an obvious way...appears to be a German lutenist, Wedemeier. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 09:07, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
