          John Dowland[a] (c. 1563 – buried 20 February 1626) was an English Renaissance composer, lutenist, and singer. He is best known today for his melancholy songs such as "Come, heavy sleep", "Come again", "Flow my tears", "I saw my Lady weepe", "Now o now I needs must part", and "In darkness let me dwell".

          His instrumental music has undergone a major revival, and with the 20th century's early music revival, has been a continuing source of repertoire for lutenists and classical guitarists.

          Career and compositions

          Very little is known of Dowland's early life, but it is generally thought he was born in London; some sources even put his birth year as 1563.

          Irish historian W. H. Grattan Flood claimed that he was born in Dalkey, near Dublin,[b] but no corroborating evidence h
