Gather your rosebuds while you may A tale out of Anacreaon Oh, that joy so soon should waste Sweet, stay awhile; why do you rise? Monsieur Saman his Coranto Amarillis, by a spring Oh, let me still and silent lie Oh, my Clarisssa, thou cruel fair From the heav'ns now I fly Royal Consort Suite (Auszug) Lawes, William Corant Sweet echo, sweetest nymph that liv'st unseen Country dance Oh sweet woods, the delight of solitariness Tavola: In quel gelato core una voce Love sweet repose: Amidst the myrtles as I walk No reprieve: Now, now Lucasia, now make haste Fantasia Slide soft, your silver floods Saraband When shall I see my captive heart? Alman Corant A dreame: I laid me down upon a pillow soft Corant The angler's song: Man's life is but vain, for 'tis subject to pain When a man for sin thy judgment feels A pastoral elegie: Cease you jolly shepherds

Rebecca Outram (Sopran) - Robert Macdonald (Bass) - Elizabeth Kenny (Laute) - u.a. // In early seventeenth-century England you couldn't move for nymphs and shepherds. The brothers Henry and William Lawes, when not frequenting some local tavern, gave voice to every manner of Arcadian excess. Charles Burney did not approve, remarking that Henry's music was 'insipid for its simplicity'.
