Description
The intensely vocal writing in this fantasia moves between melodic lines of great length and beauty and sharp dotted figures set with Dowland’s characteristic delight in rhythmic trickery. The finely crafted music moves in a mood of improvisation, the phrases rising from each other with seeming inevitability before launching into an ending of great virtuosity.

£2.99
These tracks are from the album Shapes of Sleep.

The gently descending chromatic line which begins this fantasia leads to a world of invention and startling harmony that still sounds fresh today.
