Product Description
Walsingham was a popular folk song arranged by almost all the Elizabethan composers. The song, from the Cambridge lute book (D.D.2.11), relates to the traditional pigrimage to the Church of Our Lady at Walsingham, Norfolk, which was a shrine famous for miracles. Since priory there was dissolved in 1538, the tune is clearly a very old one.
Suggested tempo is 80 in the metronome.
Although some of the chord changes need pratice, the leisurely tempo shuld make this piece not too difficult technically.
The high "1" can be held over on the lute, but it is unfortunately not possible to do so on the guitar. A Crescendo up to this point is effective.
Good studies!
