Theorbist Dillon Davie and tenor Chris Mostert explore the haunting songs of this maestro of melancholy in an intimate programme of extraordinary beauty.<br>Though it has been half a millennium since they were written, the lute songs of Dowland speak with startling immediacy to universal human themes and emotions: longing, sorrow, lost love and the bittersweet passage of time. The theorbo \u2014 Dowland&#8217;s lute in its most gloriously resonant form \u2014 adds a warm, golden texture that perfectly complements the expressive lyrical tenor.<br>Come and be transported to Elizabethan England for an evening of timeless music. Flow My Tears will linger in your heart long after the final note has faded.<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/details>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2101","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P5ulBY-xT","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2101"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2211,"href":"http:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2101\/revisions\/2211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/wmfestival.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
