John Dowland - Flow my tears - Emma Kirkby & David Thomas

[@keshiad822]

Très belle version ! J'adore.

[@heatherworthington6287]

I think this is brilliant. Even where the bass is slightly range advantaged, he never over sings the mezzo. I love the interplay of the two parts, which perfectly compliments the text. It is spare, and yet, so compelling. The momentum is mesmerizing.

[@peneleapai]

Agreed. Beautiful and absolutely perfect as it is. Looking for an arrangement of this now 😍

[@eshaneogy]

@@peneleapai If you can find one with even a separate instrumental bass line along with the lute tablature, you can underlay the words as they're done here.

[@francette19380]

très beau, à deux voix. La basse s'accorde impeccablement au soprano.

[@BarrocoeBrahms]

a superlative dueto! Emma Kirkby and David Thomas!

[@tortoiseperson]

Thank you for sharing. This is sublime in its subtlety.

[@fraserk7850]

Great recording. I love the timbre and subtle inflections of the bass, what a voice. He does so well to not overshadow the treble, but complements the whole. Whoever it was below who belittled the bass in this - you have no idea!

[@mitzypinks1338]

Fraser K totally agree! His voice is lovely! Amazing resonance. He sounds like a 'cello at times - not human 😆. And Emma beautiful singing as always.

[@laineemaupin]

You’d think that with the comments all the people are professionals. This isn’t a complicated piece. It’s supposed to be simple. The bass did a good job. This is a good recording. It doesn’t have to be perfect. The imperfections are what make music what it is. Music is about feeling and expression. They did a great job.

[@gregmc8748]

Thanks so much, I've never heard this rendition before.

[@alejandromartinezcorredor6493]

My favourite rendition.

[@jocemalima3429]

So beautiful! I love singing it!

[@markolopa]

Grava aí, Jocema, para a gente ouvir! 🙂

[@Larsmannetje66]

Thank you for posting this; it's very helpful!

[@DSteinman]

That low D, wow!

[@fiddlebanshee]

It is actually a low c sharp they are singing it a half step lower than what is written on the screen.

[@dsws2]

It is called a C#2.

[@eshaneogy]

@@fiddlebanshee Early music performers don't think of it that way. A=440 is a modern convention, only settling in the 20th century. The pitch of A used to vary, often depending on how the church organ in the town was tuned. They call this a D at A=415.

[@dsws2]

@@eshaneogy I think what my kid was getting at, when he posted that three years ago, is the "2" part, rather than the C# vs D. That is, "low C#" doesn't tell you anything without context. The "low" C# on a trumpet is two octaves away from one on a tuba. So, being a child of a certain age, he liked to have the octave numbers to make things specific.

[@gloriaivandavalossha]

This is the best version . Is a pity I cannot share it !!

John, who hurt you?

[@JaeMonroeVocalist]

@Lucas Mason Dowland is singing to and about Queen Elizabeth

[@toniperullesrull4916]

In Ab. Thanks: "That low Db"!

Esha Neogy, So is; very friendly.

[@Splendidjosh]

Will you ever make The Seal Lullaby and Sleep by Eric Whitacre available in the US to view? When I click on the videos, it's unavailable...😔

[@richardgallahue5727]

I love your selections, but I was wondering if you could do me a small favor; you had posted Whitacre's Five Hebrew Love Songs sometime back. would it be posible to find out information regarding that particular selection. it remains my favorite rendition. thanks, Richard

[@heatherworthington6287]

margotlorena2 can you possibly tell me where to find this sheet music? Thanks! HW

[@peneleapai]

@@heatherworthington6287 hope you found a score by now 🙏🏾

[@sirmoderatus1308]

Hello anybody knows where i can find this música sheet

[@peneleapai]

Hope you found it by now 🙏🏾

[@rogeriocampos5779]

Score?

[@markolopa]

For us tenor it is relaxing to sing in 415... For basses having a d2 to sing.... probably not... :-)

[@marcelafigueroag.8579]

Anyone recommend me more music in this level of complexity? And if those recommendations are less sad than this, even better xd I mean I like it a lot but I don't want sadness to enter my soul xd (For real u.u)

[@faeri_]

I chose this for my senior high school semester one art song and literally burst into tears one day ☠️ I was always sad but I didn’t think I would literally cry. My teacher and pianist were telling me how to let the notes float and then said “well we didn’t mean flow my tears literally” 😂

[@Splendidjosh]

First comment?

[@quilisma9102]

what do i know but i wish the soprano was more legato and less strictly baroque

[@weebthatshreds1514]

John Dowland invented emo, isn't that crazy?

[@tomdaniels6868]

Not gonna sit thru a minute long commercial.

[@TonusFabri2024]

Is the bass line by Dowland, or?? Didn't like this, just personal pref., the 2 vocal lines seemed too far apart to blend.

[@eshaneogy]

The bass line is by Dowland, probably without the words.

[@faeri_]

This song is made for a mezzo-soprano (alto, or as we called it alto with soprano tendencies) and in a lot of SATB music either SA matches with TB. So honestly yes it does blend. I listen to it as the Bass being the extra voice of darkness for the song

[@patrikmatyasek2892]

For Englishmen not too bad ...

[@okilfeathermusic]

yawn

[@markjones4983]

Hmmm... without wanting to be over-critical, I have to say the bass part really doesn't work for me. Knowing the song already without it, I mostly find it an annoyance, even if it's sung well. Never mind.

[@soavemusica]

I find the male voice a serious distraction, sorry. Less is more.

[@Karolusio1995]

The bass singer lacks richness and timbre of the voice

[@mitzypinks1338]

CharlieCrusher are you serious? He has an amazing resonance in his voice.

[@LewisHamsterHammond]

this isn't very good
