Overview
What you will study
The Flow My Tears - The Music of John Dowland course offered by University of Oxford will explore the themes of love, melancholy and introspection that are woven into Dowland's beautiful songs and lute compositions, and learn about the cultural and historical context in which his music was created.
Dowland travelled widely throughout Europe, eventually serving as a musician at the court of King Christian IV of Denmark and later as a lutenist for King James I of England. His music was widely published and circulated throughout Europe during his lifetime. He published several collections of songs and instrumental music, including 'Lachrimae or Seven Teares', which became one of the most famous and influential works of the time.
Dowland's music was characterised by its complex harmonies, subtle melodies and emotive lyrics, often exploring themes of love, loss and sadness. His legacy as a composer and musician continues to inspire and influence classical music to this day.
