Sean Shibe, guitar Ben Johnson, tenor
Programme includes songs by John Dowland, Philip Rosseter, Thomas Morley, Benjamin Britten, William Walton, and music from Scottish lute manuscripts.
Raucous drinking songs and lusty declarations of heartbreak come together in an energising selection of lute-song and folk arrangements. William Walton and Benjamin Britten illuminate Tudor texts and familiar tunes in their own inimitable styles, by turn haunting and hilarious. England’s Elizabethan lutenist-composers demonstrate a sublime understanding of vocal melody and laconic affect while 20th and 21st century composers allude to Baroque masters.
