Yes, if your definition of “instrument” includes the human voice. Dowland was first a musician (lutenist) and later composed many works for the lute. But he also composed many songs for the human voice “obtaining harmonic effects quite advanced for his time.”* *Sources: “The Concise Baker’s Biographical Dictionary of Musicians” and “The Oxford Dictionary of Music.” Find recordings of John Dowland’s compositions by searching SUNCAT, the library catalog, for his name as an author: Dowland, John.
