Full program notes

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 this year marks the English composer/lutenist’s 400th anniversary of his death. All music will be performed on period instruments and sung with reconstructed pronunciation! The program will include an array of lute songs as well as a handful of solos for the lute.

Program:

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

INTERVAL

Fine knacks for ladies
Awake sweet love thou art returnd
Lachrimae
Cleare or cloudie sweet as April showring
The lowest trees have tops
It was a time when silly bees could speake
Preludium
A Fancy
The most sacred Queene Elizabeth, her Galliard
Say love if ever thou didst finde


Historical context

Renaissance lute songs of English lutenist/composer John Dowland (1563-1626).
