The First Booke of Songs or Ayres

Album by John Dowland & Rogers Covey‐Crump & Jakob Lindberg

The First Booke of Songs or Ayres is a collection of lute songs by the English composer John Dowland, published in 1597. The music exemplifies late Renaissance English lute-song style with expressive melancholy melodies, modal harmonies and intricate lute accompaniment, and it was Dowland's first published book that helped establish the English ayre repertoire.
