SKU: CJ.A110906093

Composed by John Dowland. Arranged by Pierre Calmelet. Middle Age - Renaissance. Octavo. Editions a Coeur Joie #A110906093. Published by Editions a Coeur Joie (CJ.A110906093).

John Dowland's 'Flow my tears' is an atypical piece for several reasons.
Firstly, it was extremely successful at the time: numerous arrangements and versions of this John Dowland song were published throughout Europe.
Secondly, it seems that the text was written after the music and specifically for it, perhaps by the composer himself.
In any case, the secret of this piece's success, according to the specialists, lies mainly in its melodic richness.
Pierre Calmelet takes advantage of this admirably with his harmonization for four-part SATB a cappella mixed choir.
Performance : 4 minutes.
