Alice Coote also sings this very well (search for the English Concert, starting @45min), but she has queenly voice, Valeria is more convincing as an anguished young lover.
@punkdissorder no need to question my reading abilities. in my defence, you did say "it's not a song" and your comment is not in a context where people tend to speak metaphorically (rather, people tend to correct and criticise each other and the videos!) so i hope you can see how i read (or misread, if you like) your words. if it was me i probably would have gone for a simile, or said something like "It's not just a song" in an attempt to avoid any hint of ambiguity as to my meaning. :)
these songs were written for Elizabethan's to sing for pleasure at home. In no way were they restricted to counter-tenors. This is a beautiful performance and I am showing it to my Renaissance music class. Thank you.
Someone commented that she ought not to be making facial expressions. Well, it is possible to make music impassively, I suppose, but it would be difficult for most people. And for a song of this emotional charge.....I think not!
And as for the format (she's not a counter tenor)....this is a classic song. There is room for any amount of interpretations, isn't there?
They made this music around the XVI century.... and wee where beeing discoveried... We are never be a nice place.... We can be a fucking power but, this, i mean, culture, education... never.... I should say for you europeans that you are humans...... maybe in 300 years we can be like you....
A singer shapes their sound with their facial expressions centered on the mouth. Absolutely critical. You have to live the piece to make it believable. She is a amazing singer. Enjoy the gift. Great Lute too!
I wonder why anyone got the idea this is a song for male singer(?).
"Flow my tears" is in Dowland's Second Book opf Songs or Ayres, 1600, no. 2.
The original notation has the melody in the "soprano" or "canto" clef (middle C bottom line), with lute tablature. There is an optional bass part (voice or viol) on the facing page. In the context of Dowland's time and place, any voice part was acceptable for solo songs.
@AcadiaMusicEditor women would not have been allowed to sing this in a court it would have been a young boy certainly in england that would most likely be the case
@dobsonone I have documentation of women singing at court. True, in Masques and Sacred music only males sang, but this is not masque music nor is it sacred. In any case, Dowland was not appointed at the English Court when this was published (Second Booke...,1602). Dowland was appointed at Court in 1612. He dedicates the book to "Lady Lucie the Comptesse of Bedford." He states, "I...giue especiall honor, to your knowledge of Musicke... ." [I have published 7 vols, of editions in this field.]
@dobsonone To add just a bit: The dedications of Dowland's and other period song books suggests these largly were intended for private use, and aimed at the nobility in their domestic contexts. In such contexts, women would have sung more than anyone else. I mention also two poems set by Wm Lawes (in the 1630s, so a bit later, in court songs).One states, "It is her voice..., and let a thousand love songs fill mine ears..."; (autograph MS f. 16v) the other, "Had you but heard her sing..."(f. 24).
I believe this is Valeria and Alfonso's best performance of Dowland's Flow My Tears, even better than on their album. Valeria is lovely here in my opinion the play of the shadows on her face, the dramatic use of her hands. and Alfonso is a talented lutenist they work well together. On the Album I believe they were valeria worked too hard striving for perfect enunciation, I bought it on Amazon.com for Christmas. I like them so much I had to buy their album and am waiting for their next.
Oh my dear God. I thought John Dowland pieces were beautiful played on the lute just by itself, but, with such awe-inspiring vocal accompaniment... it brought me to tears. Emotion turned directly into music... this is life-changing stuff.
I throughly enjoyed this although the one thing that i didn't like was the massive "t" sound at the end. it seemed to ruin the whole atmosphere of the melancholy ending. But, i didnt perform it so i dont have a right to tell her what to do. An amazing performance nonetheless.
Flow my teares fall from your springs, Exilde for ever: Let me morne Where nights black bird hir sad infamy sings, There let me live forlorne. Downe vaine lights shine you no more, No nights are dark enough for those That in dispaire their last fortunes deplore, Light doth but shame disclose. Never may my woes be relieved, Since pittie is fled, And teares, and sighes, and grones My wearie days of all joyes have deprived.
seems i`m not the only one who found to John Dowland by PKD. However,it last me 20 years to get to Dowland (lucky findin flow my tears on Tube at once) since first reading Flow my tears, the policeman said. Lucky me now, feeling enlighted and enchanted. To anyone who doesn`t know: Read "The Three Stigmata Of Palmer Eldridge" by Philip Kenred Dick. Better than tha Holy Bible, for he is a Prophet in our times. LOL
They both on stage mean what they`re doin, look at her, look at him! Holy Art!
Folks - get over yourselves! Of course she does not have to make facial expressions but if there was only one way of doing a thing art would be dead. And who cares if she's not a countertenor - she's not supposed to be. This is just gorgeous and if you cannot appreciate that then there are many other versions on youtube to suit - bottom line, this is quite beautiful!
@macgiollabuide It just makes me laugh...people asserting how this music, or any music is "supposed" to be performed. Like we have any real idea! How you can sing about love and heartbreak and all of the human emotions, so beautifully written by Dowland, and keep a straight face. It's emotional stuff! And countertenors? Their singing is cold and false, and therefore cannot portray emotion...the sound is all strangled and ephemeral. Give me this, any day.
@macgiollabuide Agree this is well done....hehe if you want to see facial expressions please go see Vivica Genaux in anything!!!....but start perhaps with "Agitata de due Venti" by Vivaldi....She is off the scale in terms of vocal capacity...however she and others liken really working the voice and expression to playing the violin....and it is like saying to a really Great Violinist....ok do that again, but this time I don't want to be seeing you move the bow....ok???/ peace...
The music is only two pages long with three repeated parts in which the lute part is ornamented so the music does not need to be turned. Also it should be a countertenor not a female voice.
I always enjoy so much this performance.The first: it is a beautiful song. I agree that she should show more discretion with her face expression. Too much drama.. But I love her "little vibrato" and her young girl voice. Her diction is very careful. Excellent and clean sound of the lutenist player. Definitly: I love this!
@Yahyoohy would you rather she sang with a straight boring face, like a robot? She obviously enjoys the song and is putting emotion into her singing. Without it she would sound bland and boring. The facial expressions help her tone/sound. Do you say the same thing about your favorite pop vocalist?
For Mol: Thinking of you and of course will always and forever love you, You are with me infinately. Thanks for the music, it is beautiful. Each time we have been pulled away from each other, the weight of the gravity pulling back to you, seems to increase. Define love however you want, it still equals me loving you. LNE
That is just perfect and moving. And yes AndiBotti, audience is pathetic. BTW, Hythsonne and the likes, please explain how you can sing by reading without turning any pages for 5 minutes.
@ARRRISTOCHAT same melody line repeated several times (strophic) words are lined underneath. my school has a facsimile it is only one page for the vocal and lute part combined. Its really neat to look at sheet music so old. Its even laid out in choir book form so you could put one copy at a table and the two voice parts (optional lower voice) can sit at a table together on two sides
This is an excellent rendition of this song. Dowland's music is so melancholy and the two of you do a fantastic job emulating that feeling. Beautiful!
This is a revelation. And a rebuke---Where the f*** have I been ? I eat this stuff up, can never get enough. I have to make more room in my life for the things that make life worth living, like this duo, bless them.
This is absolutely superb. I could get really technical and point out that it's a male contralto song, but she sings it so utterly beautifully as to make it her own. And we get this for free on Youtube? This girl needs to be a huge star. And the lute guy's pretty good too.
It's a beautiful performance, with fine diction as others have said -- as long as you don't look at it. The girl is lovely, but she never stops rocking and emoting with her hands for a second. Distracting, I'm afraid. Not the less because she seems to be dividing her time between "painting the text" and glancing back at the music.

Não tenho palavras para expressar minha emoção. Lindissimo! Dowland, uma voz esplêndida e um lute delicadíssimo. Maravilhoso mesmo.

Dover publishing has Dowland's First and Second Books of songs and ayres with the original lute TAB and a guitar transcription in modern music score.
This one is from the Second Book.
Buy them on-line direct from Dover.
