Whether gay or sad, simple or complex, John Dowland’s music has the power to move us four centuries after its composition. This wide-ranging anthology explores all aspects of the work of England’s greatest songwriter and lutenist, performed by leading exponents of his art today. “The collection might have sounded like a bit of a hotchpotch were it not for the fact that Dowland's celebrated Lachrimae pavans are woven through the sequence, giving the whole a sense of unity and shape. All in all, it makes a nostalgic and inspiring testimony to Dowland's versatility.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2007 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | English Fantasy: Images Of Melancholy
and readings from the Corpus Hermeticum Book I, 1-4
Lynda Sayce (lute), Andrew Wilson-Dickson (organ), John Line (reader) The English Fantasy Consort of Viols In Elizabethan and Jacobean England the artistic cult of melancholy was not just an aesthetic conceit, but arose from ancient philosophical speculation on the dual nature of the human soul, which struggled to find its divine nature in the darkness of the material world. One of the most influental texts was the Corpus Hermeticum attributed to the legendary Egyptian sage Hermes Trismegistus, and handed down in the Renaissance via the translation of Marsilio Ficino. In this recording, we alternate readings from this text with music based on John Dowland's famous Lachrimae theme, including his Lachrimae or Seaven Teares of 1604 for five viols and lute, and other pieces by Giles Farnaby, Anthony Holborne, Thomas Weelkes and the contemporary composer Andrew Wilson-Dickson. Our programme evokes a journey of the soul, from its creation to its return to God, and Dowland reminds us that "though the title doth promise teares, unfit guests in these joyfull times, yet no doubt pleaseant are the teares which Musicke weepes, neither are teares shed alwayes in sorrowe, but sometime in joy and gladnesse." | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
