Flow My Tears: Songs for Lute and Voice JOHNSON: "Have you seen the
bright lily grow?"; "Care-charming sleep"; "From the Famous Peak of
Derby" DANYEL: "Grief, keep within"; "Why canst thou not, as others
do?"; "Can doleful notes?"; "Never weather—Beaten sail" MUHLY: New
York TBA* DOWNLAND: "Come again, sweet love doth now invite"; "In
darkness let me dwell"; "Can she excuse my wrongs"; "Flow, my tears,
fall from your springs"; The Frog Galliard; "Now, O now, I needs must
part" With a voice that possesses "the delicacy and refinement of
spider silk" (Financial Times, London) and a sharp interpretive mind
to match, British countertenor Iestyn Davies has entered the limelight
with scene-stealing operatic roles and intimate recital programs that
showcase his "extraordinary tonal richness and imaginative phrasing"
(The Guardian, London). Davies, accompanied by Thomas Dunford on lute,
sings a program of deeply poetic and emotionally dynamic late Tudor
and Stuart songs by Dowland, Johnson, and Danyel, as well as a new
work by the young and in-demand New York-based composer Nico Muhly.
