This lecture recital was presented to the faculty of fine arts and music (university of melbourne) in fulfillment of the master of Music performance research course. It outlines the findings of the dissertation In Dowland’s Own words: Lachrime and Flow my Tears which explores the relationship between the lute song Flow my Tears and the instrumental dance Lachrimae pavane. The research is guided by the question:
How can the stylistic, rhetorical and contextual information found in the setting of Flow my Tears be interpreted to develop an authoritative performance guide for the Lachrimae Pavane?
