First Booke of Songes or Ayres

Album by John Dowland & Grace Davidson & David Miller

First Booke of Songes or Ayres is a collection of lute songs by English Renaissance composer John Dowland, published in 1597. The music pairs solo vocal lines with lute accompaniment in a modal, melancholic Renaissance style and marks an early stage in Dowland's career and in the development of late-16th-century English secular song.
