The English ayre (or Iute song, as it is perhaps more commonly known) can most easily be defined as a solo song, with an accompaniment played on the Iute. The genre, which flourished briefly and gloriously for only two decades, began with the publication of Dowland's first book in 1597, and went on to inspire almost twenty composers to publish collections of ayres.
