| Albrecht Durer (1555): Susanna surprised by the elders. I doubt that she is the subject of the galliard but I can't resist the incongruity and humour of Durer's engraving. This must be a companion to his picture of men at the bath house of about the same period. |
This is a lovely little galliard, and not too difficult to play. I particularly enjoy the sweet harmonies.
I have inserted the chord names on the tabs, although I realise that such an approach is as anachronistic as the illustration above. Nevertheless, I reckon that there are 13 chords in this short piece.
I have made the arrangement so that it can be played as much as possible by holding the chord shapes, and moving the appropriate finger. If you are a used to strumming this should be a help. In bar 13, the last (split) beat can be played by forming a 1-3-4-3 chord (a sort of unrooted C7, though that's not how John Dowland would have seen it).
Anyway, I hope you like it as much as I do.
