Early Music 8: Sirinu
Sweet Stay Awhile: Music by John Dowland & John Daniel
This concert explores the music of two of the leading lutenist composers of the English Golden Age. Both men became royal employees and were regarded as leading musicians of the Jacobean Court. Songs from John Daniel’s exquisite and highly poetic book of 1606 is contrasted with the more directly emotional airs of John Dowland. Though Daniel’s publications as a composer of songs and instrumental music are small by comparison to Dowland, his pieces have an inventiveness and beauty that makes them justly famous.
