Lute, voices and viols: with these instruments, John Dowland (ca. 1563-1626) created a musical world like no other Englishman of his time. Known above all for his melancholy songs, Dowland's lute solos and viol consort pieces are outstanding examples of this genre. This program commemorates the 400th anniversary of Dowland's death with a unique combination of lute songs and instrumental music that reflects the diversity of his musical practice. Self-accompanied singing, newly composed lute duets, vocal and instrumental improvisations allow Dowland's music to be heard in a rare way that reflects the spirit of his time and revives his creative artistry.
