Flow My Tears: Songs for Lute and Voice
JOHNSON
"Have you seen the bright lily grow?"; "Care-charming sleep"; "From the Famous Peak of Derby"
DANYEL
"Grief, keep within"; "Why canst thou not, as others do?"; "Can doleful notes?"; "Never weather—Beaten sail"
MUHLY
New York TBA*
DOWNLAND
"Come again, sweet love doth now invite"; "In darkness let me dwell"; "Can she excuse my wrongs"; "Flow, my tears, fall from your springs"; The Frog Galliard; "Now, O now, I needs must part"
With a voice that possesses "the delicacy and refinement of spider silk" (Financial Times, London) and a sharp interpretive mind to match, British countertenor Iestyn Davies has entered the limelight with scene-stealing operatic roles and intimate recital programs that showcase his "extraordinary tonal richness and imaginative phrasing" (The Guardian, London). Davies, accompanied by Thomas Dunford on lute, sings a program of deeply poetic and emotionally dynamic late Tudor and Stuart songs by Dowland, Johnson, and Danyel, as well as a new work by the young and in-demand New York-based composer Nico Muhly.
