Histories IV: Lachrimae

John Dowland represented the pinnacle of the troubadour tradition with his endlessly inspired Lute Songs, filled with longing and sadness. Henry Purcell was the greatest British composer of the Baroque and a profound influence on Benjamin Britten, who lovingly arranged many of his best songs.
