Thomas Robinson (c 1560 – c 1610) was a lutenist who published a tutor for lute (The Schoole of Musicke) in 1603. This piece is the eighth of his works that I have transcribed for low-G ukulele, and will be posting over the next few weeks.
In my previous post of a galliard this morning I complained that it didn't sound much like a galliard. I thought I ought to post another of Robinson's galliards. This one is much more galliard-like.
It's pretty tuneful, and not too challenging, so I hope you enjoy playing it.
There are three strains, and the first has a very clear galliard rhythm. In the second and third strains, some passages seem to fit more into a 6/8 rhythm when played, and have been set accordingly.
You can view and download a pdf of the arrangement here.
