Iestyn Davies

The Third and Last Booke of Songs or Aires

Dowland 400th-Anniversary Weekend

with Mary Bevan (soprano) and Thomas Dunford (lute)

The Third and Last Booke of Songs or Aires
Partsongs, solo songs and dialogues for voices and lute make up the last of Dowland’s songbooks, published in London in 1603. Dowland cultivates a quality of seriousness in its 21 pieces, expressed in such heart-rending songs as Time stands still, I must complain and Weep you no more, sad fountains.

John Dowland The Third and Last Booke of Songs or Aires

Iestyn Davies countertenor
Thomas Dunford lute
Mary Bevan soprano
Thomas Hobbs tenor
Neal Davies bass-baritone
