Anatomy of Depression lain Burnside explores the range of songs that toy with sadness, plumbing the darkest depths of depression as well as experiencing the exquisite pain of happiness recalled in grief. From the resigned melancholy of John Dowland to the bitter-sweet consolation of late
Schubert and the world-weary gloom of Hugo Wolfs Michelangelo songs. And while Nina Simone comforts Little Girl Blue,
Richard Rodgers is Glad to Be Unhappy.
