John Dowland (1563 - 1626). In darkness let me dwell

Performed by
Olga Nazaykinskaya, soprano
Anastassia Kornilova, harpsichord
Alexandra Drozdova, bass viol

Recorded at the Prechistenka COncert Hall in Moscow in 2001, July 14

In darkness let me dwell, the ground shall sorrow be,
The roof despair to bar all cheerful light from me,
The walls of marble black that moistend still shall weep,
My music hellish jarring sounds, to banish friendly sleep.
Thus wedded to my woes, and bedded to my tomb,
O, let me, living, living , die, till death do come.
In darkness let me dwell.
