Third Booke of Songs

Album by John Dowland & Anthony Rooley & The Consort of Musicke

Third Booke of Songs is a collection of lute songs by English composer John Dowland, published in 1603. Musically it comprises lute-accompanied solo songs and partsongs in the late Renaissance English idiom, featuring modal melodies, intricate vocal counterpoint and an expressive melancholic tone that place the work in the later phase of Dowland's secular vocal output.
First released: 1991
