Um disco onde se pode ouvir as origens de boa parte da música branca inglesa e estadunidense. Várias destas obras parecem ecoar em nossos dias. Pois algumas coisas não diminuem com o tempo. Cerca de quatro séculos e meio depois, o trabalho dolorosamente romântico de John Dowland permanece tão atraente hoje como provavelmente foi nos séculos 16 e 17. As melodias crescentes e a repetição de certas frases-chave evoluíram, sem dúvida, para as formas de música popular de hoje — embora alguns usem o termo “canção de arte” para distinguir o trabalho de compositores como Dowland do pop e rock contemporâneo na batalha em curso entre “alta” e ” baixa” cultura. Espero que tais distinções artificiais não impeçam as pessoas de explorar esta música.
