The John Dowland Ayres — With Text

John Dowland (1563-1626) was one of the most stylish and popular English composers of his day. These 52 SATB Secular Ayres (love song madrigals), researched and edited by Joe Hickman, D.Mus., and arranged in their relative order of sight-reading complexity, are full of emotional intensity and elegant melancholy. Available in 2 editions: The Dowland Reader (music only) and The Performance Edition (with English text).
