DeutschRobert Dowland
Robert Dowland (c. 1591 – 1641) was an English lutenist and composer. He was the son of the lutenist and composer John Dowland, who wrote almost 90 lute songs and other pieces written for the lute.[1] Robert Dowland wrote only a few known compositions, including several in Varietie of Lute Lessons.
In 1610 he published two collections of music, A Varietie of Lute Lessons and A Musical Banquet (an anthology of work by other composers including his father). In 1626 his father died and Robert succeeded him as royal lutenist.[2]
