Did John Dowland ever write anything remotely happy?
People keep requesting depressing, sad, dark, "goth" classical songs, so that always brings to my mind the music of John Dowland. Now I wonder, did he ever write anything that was even a tiny bit upbeat or hopeful? He wrote for the lute--any instrumental pieces that at least sound happy?
Name any Dowland composition (voice or instruments) that ISN'T sad?
