Host

Join us for an evening of John Dowland songs for lute and voice.

What's the music?

The Poore Astronomers, tenor Drew Ivarson and lutenist Daniel Keene, present a program in celebration of the life and music of John Dowland (1563-1626) as it will be the English composer/lutenist’s 400th anniversary of his death. All music will be performed on period instruments and sung with reconstructed pronunciation!

Program:

O sweet woods, the delight of solitarienesse
If my complaints could passions move
Can she excuse my wrongs
What if I never speede
Wilt thou unkind thus reave me of my hart
Flow my teares

INTERVAL

Awake sweet love thou art returnd
Fantasie
Cleare or cloudie sweet as April showring
The lowest trees have tops
It was a time when silly bees could speake
The Most Sacred Queene Elizabeth, Her Galliard
Say love if ever thou didst finde
