the Willow Song

Uploaded by lutesongs on Aug 7, 2011
From Mignarda's 2007 release, "My Lord of Oxenford's Maske". MP3s available from iTunes, Naxos' ClassicsOnline; CDs available from Amazon, CD Baby, and Mignarda.com. A performance edition of the music can be found in Shakespeare's Lute Book, available from Mignarda Editions at Mignarda.com.
The Willow Song, as quoted in Shakespeare's "Othello", is famous as Desdemona's lament. The willow, a symbol of forsaken love, was part of the imagery associated with Elizabethan melancholy, and the text to the song even describes in detail the typical posture of a melancholy lover.
Mignarda's performance is based on the version found in the British Library (additional manuscript 15117), and is unique in that the triple-time rhythm is gently pulsed and insistently regular, rather than the free-form rhythmic interpretation typical to performances of this song.
