Lawes: Dialogues, Psalmes & Elegies
William Lawes (1602-1645)
Dialogues, Psalmes & Elegies
Come, heavy heart
Charon, O Charon
Charon, O gentle Charon, let me wooe thee
Orpheus, O Orpheus, gently touch thy Lesbyan Lyre
Tis not Boy, thy Amorous looke
When death shall snatch us from these Kidds
The Catts as other creatures doe
Musicke, The Master of thy Art is dead
How Like a widow?
Why in this shade of night?
John Jenkins (1592-1678)
Cease, O cease ye jolly shepherds
Henry Lawes (1596-1662)
Psalm 22

“There are some richly expressive examples of Lawe’s style included on this fascinating disc… These performances give us an enjoyable cross-section of this Stuart composer’s music.”
