I think Mr. Tayler is referring to the 14th piece in Francisque

That's what I was thinking. It's a Dowland theme, which Francisque
took and wrote a galliard on it. Does that make it a "piece by
Dowland?"
Of course, Diana Poulton knew of this setting - see her biography, pp 62, 289
and 489.
It is well known that David Tayler doesn't accept the Holmes manuscripts or
Variety as reliable sources for Dowland's music.
Why on earth does he think Dowland has anything to do with this setting of CLM19
that is simply called "Galliarde" and not attributed to anybody by Francisque.
