Awake, sweet love
If my complaints could passions move
(Continued in next column)
Me, me, and none but me
Weep you no more sad fountains
Shall I sue
Sleep, wayward thoughts
Wilt thou, unkind, thus reave me Now, oh now I needs must part
This is the first of two programmes made up of ' Ayres for Four Voices ' from the latest volume of Musica Britannica , ' an authoritative national collection of the classics of English music' This volume, edited by Thurston Dart and Nigel Fortune, is published as a tribute to the memory of the late Dr. B. H. Fellowes , who transcribed the ayres. In their introduction the editors point out that certain of Dowland's songs were evidently composed in the first instance for four voices, the lute accompaniments being only a substitute.
