This episode features music from lutenist and composer John Dowland. Dowland wrote the Lachrimae Pavane, known in English as ?Flow My Tears,? in 1596, and it is now one of the most widely known pieces of the English Renaissance. Lachrimae became the composer?s signature song literally as well as metaphorically: later in life he would occasionally sign his name ?Jo. Dolandi de Lachrimae? or ?John Dowland of the Lachrimae.? This performance is notable in that it is played on a newly restored Italian Virginal built by the Florentine maker Francesco Poggi around 1590. Here?s Charles Metz, performing John Dowland?s Lachrimae Pavane.
