Dowland's Lachrimae

Music Map

Available for 28 days

To mark the 400th anniversary of John Dowland's death, Sara Mohr-Pietsch traces a path towards John Dowland's famous Lachrimae collection. We hear music which, like the Lachrimae, is full of melancholy, together with more modern musical dances, a form which inspired many of Dowland's works. Producer: Ben Collingwood.
