How to use the files Feedback Thanks

Stewart McCoy's edition of Dowland trios was published by Stefan Lundgren in 2009. The edition can be ordered here.

The files below allow you to practice Stewart's Dowland trios without needing to find other competent players or the always elusive bass lute. The play-along files include all the notes of the Lute 2 and 3 parts. They are formatted to suit a Lute 1 played on a G lute at a=440.

If you are using the Fronimo files, the files can be transposed up or down to suit your specific lute; if, for example you have a lute in A they can transposed up 2 steps or a lute in F down 2 steps.

The default tempos are fairly slow, but don't hesitate to use slower ones. The Fronimo files are around 60bpm, the MIDI files are in 3 versions; the fastest, Tempo 3, around 60bpm, Tempos 2 and 1 progressively slower.
