Mrs Winter’s Jump by John Dowland
Mrs Winter’s Jump by John Dowland (1563-1626)
Many Elizabethan lute pieces bear the names of the persons of nobility to whom they were dedicated (in this case, one Jane Winter). Like Tarleton’s Riserrectione, this piece is also a jig. The tricky rhythms, especially in measures 4-8, should be approacehd with particular care. This tune sounds best at a slightly tempo, with a not too heavy touch.
