Flow my tears, 'Lachrimae'

Experience Classical

Flow my tears is possibly Dowland’s most famous song and an example of ‘Elizabethan Melancholy’. The sadness expressed in the words is mirrored in the descending melody. It is regarded as a sister-piece to I saw my lady weep. Composer: John Dowland Performer: Ben Johnson (Tenor) Performer: Jakob Lindberg (Lute) Recording date: 1 February 2012 Date of broadcast: 21 July 2012
