First Booke of Songes (The Consort of Musicke feat. director: Anthony Rooley)
Album by John Dowland
First Booke of Songes is a collection of lute songs by English composer John Dowland, first published in 1597. The collection is representative of the English lute song repertoire, with melancholic modal melodies paired with intimate lute accompaniment and close text setting, and as one of Dowland's early published works it influenced the development of lute-song writing in late 16th-century England.
First released: 1989
