Marking the 400th anniversary of John Dowland’s death, this program explores the rich musical world of one of the Renaissance’s most expressive composers and its greatest lutenist. The program features lute songs and solos as well as consort music by Dowland and music by his contemporaries and includes Scottish folk airs first notated during the reign of James I (= James VI of Scotland), Dowland’s employer at the end of his career.
