Resounding Shores - A Play Of Passion
Royal Academy of Music, The Dukes Hall, NW1 5HT , [Venue Details]Sir Walter Raleigh’s poem is the inspiration for this anniversary programme featuring the music of two great composers who died within a year of each other: Orlando Gibbons and John Dowland.
The infectious joy of Gibbons’ counterpoint is perfectly matched by Dowland’s forthright and eloquent writing of solo ayres and part-songs. Extracts from Dowland’s monumental collection Lachrimae, or Seven Teares complete the programme.
DOWLAND Pavans and Galliards from Lachrimae, or Seven Teares (1604); Away with these self-loving lads; My thoughts are winged with hopes; Flow, my tears; Sleep, wayward thoughts; Sweet, stay awhile; In darkness let me dwell
GIBBONS Ah, dear heart; What is our life?; O, that the learned poets; The Silver Swan
‘What is our life? The play of passion. Our mirth? The music of division’.
