13 of the finest settings taken from John Dowland: Ayres for Four Voices, originally transcribed as Volume 6 of Musica Britannica by Edmund Fellowes. The Elizabethan and Jacobean lutesongs were often written with alternative versions for voices and lute. This volume is an introductory selection of these ‘airs’, with accompaniment which may be played on guitar or keyboard as well as lute.

• Burst forth my tears
• By a fountain where I lay
• Can she excuse my wrongs
• Come again sweet love doth now invite
• Come away, come sweet love
• Come heavy sleep
• Fine knacks for ladies
• Go crystal tears
• If my complaints
• Now o now I needs must part
• Sleep wayward thoughts
• Sweet stay awhile
• Weep you no more sad fountains
