Resounding Shores: A Play Of Passion

directed by Elizabeth Kenny

Resounding Shores: A Play Of Passion
'What is our life? The play of passion. Our mirth? The music of division.' Sir Walter Raleigh's poem is the inspiration for this anniversary programme featuring the music of two great composers who died within a year of each other: Orlando Gibbons and John Dowland.

Programme:
John Dowland Pavans and Galliards from Lachrimae, or Seven Teares (1604); Away with these self-loving lads; My thoughts are winged with hopes; Flow, my tears; Sleep, wayward thoughts; Sweet, stay awhile; In darkness let me dwell
Orlando Gibbons Ah, dear heart; What is our life?; O, that the learned poets; The Silver Swan


Performers:
Academy Baroque Soloists
Elizabeth Kenny director
