Mistress Winter’s Jump is Baxter’s solo guitar arrangement and variation of music by John Dowland. The piece reflects the elegance and rhythmic character associated with Renaissance dance music, adapted for the modern classical guitar.

As part of Five Renaissance Pieces, it contributes both historical color and instrumental charm. Baxter’s arrangement allows the guitar to bring out the music’s graceful movement, clean texture, and compact formal design.

This piece benefits from crisp rhythm, careful voicing, and a light dance-like character. It may be performed as part of the full set or used independently in programs featuring Renaissance-inspired guitar repertoire.
