Henry & William Lawes - Songs


Hely, C:

Fantasia

Saraband

Lawes, H:

A Tale out of Anacreon

Oh, that joy so soon should waste

Sweet, stay awhile; why do you rise?

From the heav’ns now I fly

Sweet Echo, sweetest nymph that liv’st unseen

Oh sweet woods, the delight of solitariness

Tavola: In quel gelato core una voce

Loves Sweet Repose: Amidst the myrtles as I walk

No Reprieve: Now, now Lucasia, now make haste

The Angler’s Song: Man’s life is but vain, for ’tis subject to pain

A Pastoral Elegie: Cease you jolly shepherds

Amarillis, by a spring

Slide soft, you silver floods

When shall I see my captive heart?

Lawes, W:

When man for sin thy judgment feels

Corant for two lutes

A Dreame: I laid me down upon a pillow soft

Alman for two lutes

Country Dance

Corant from The Royall Consort

Oh, my Clarissa, thou cruel fair

Oh, let me still and silent lie

Gather your rosebuds while you may

Saman:

Monsieur Saman his Coranto


Robin Blaze (countertenor), Elizabeth Kenny (lute, theorbo), Rebecca Outram (soprano), Robert Macdonald (bass), William Carter (lute, guitar, theorbo) & Frances Kelly (double harp)

'On this engaging tour of the melancholy but colourful world of the Lawes brothers we are conducted by alto Robin Blaze and lutenist Elizabeth Kenny, both at the height of their powers. Blaze soars with ease throughout the alto range while Kenny's sympathetic accompanimnet is a model of its kind' (Early Music Forum of Scotland News)
