Sorrow, stay - by John Dowland

Mignarda lutesong duo, Donna Stewart & Ron Andrico, in an informal setting at the home of Danny Shoskes.

Another favorite John Dowland song, from his Second Book of 1600.

Thanks Danny, for your technological expertise, without which we'd still be waiting for the pressing of the 78 RPM record to come back from the factory!

look at the timing in the third phrase on 'to a woeful woeful wretched wight'

the dotted quaver is on the WRE not the TCHED of wretched

there are some other timing errors but this one stood out to me, sorry

im studying this for my grade 7 singing exam and its HARD. well done you two.

Thanks for visiting our video. We perform from the facsimile of this piece (from Dowland, 1600), with a few minor edits and, aside from a small slip of the tongue stand firmly behind the interpretation. Best of luck in your studies.

@michaelrcongdon I've heard three male vocal versions of this song that is sometimes titled "Sorrow, come": In countertenor Andreas Scholl's album "Crystal tears" (Harmonia Mundi); in a collection "Music from the time of christian IV" (BIS) by tenor Rogers Covey-Crump; in an album "Songs to my lady - English songs & lute pieces" (Harmonia Mundi) by countertenor Paul Esswood. There must be more as I've only searched a collection of one music library.
