John Danyel: Songs to Mistress Anne Grene


Danyel:

Coy Daphne fled

Thou pretty bird, how do I see

He whose desires are still abroad

Like as the Lute Delights

Dost thou withdraw thy grace?

Why canst thou not?

Stay, cruel, stay!

Time, Cruel Time

Griefe keepe within

Drop not mine eies

Have all our passions

Let not Cloris think

Can doleful notes?

No, let chromatic tunes

Uncertain certain turns

Eyes, look no more

If I could shut the gate

I die whenas I do not see

What delight can they enjoy

Now the earth, the skies, the air

Mistress Anne Grene Her Leaves Be Greene


A Garden of Eloquence: Katharine Hawnt (voice), Ziv Braha (lute), Uri Smilansky (bass viol)

This collection of songs is based on the theme of the courting of Daphne of Apollo and Anthony Rooley has suggested that it can be regarded as the first song-cycle in England.

This captivating recording was produced by Sting.

International Record Review

February 2012

“[Hawnt's] diction is amazingly clear, aided by immaculate sound quality, and her understanding and interpretation of texts are excellent throughout… John Danyel was one of [Dowland's] most interesting and talented contemporaries and his musical love letters to Mistress Anne Greene are well worth listening to.”
