O Sweet Woods - John Dowland
O Sweet Woods - John Dowland
The Second Booke of Songs or Ayres, no. 10
Angela Hicks and Penelope Appleyard, sopranos
Sam Brown, lute
Filmed live in Castle Howard, Yorkshire.
O sweet woods the delight of solitarinesse,
O how much do I love your solitarinesse.
From fames desire, from loves delight retir'd,
In these sad groves an Hermits life I led,
And those flase pleasures which once I admir'd,
With sad remembrance of my fall, I dread.
To birds to trees, to earth, impart I this,
For shee less secret, and as senceless is.
O sweet woods...
Experience which repentance only brings,
Doth bid mee now my hart from love estrange,
Love is disdained when it doth looke at Kings,
And love loe placed, base and apt to change:
The power doth take from him his liberty,
His want of worth makes him in cradell die.
O sweet woods...
You men that give false worship unto Love,
And seke that which you never shall obtaine,
The endlesse worke of Sisisphus you procure,
Whose end is this, to know you strive in vaine,
Hope and desire which now your Idols bee,
You needs must loose and feele dispaire with mee.
O sweet woods, etc.
O how much, etc.
You woods in you the fairest Nimphs have walked,
Nimphs at whose sight all harts did yeeld to Love.
You woods in whom deere lovers oft have talked,
How doe you now a place of mourning prove,
Wansted my Mistres saith this is the doome,
Thou art loves Childbed, Nursery, and Tombe.
O sweet woods...

Parabéns, from BRASIL!!!
I have been learning classical singing for a year now. Recently we had a death in the family and I stopped singing for about 2 months. However listening to you has taken me to another plane and encouraged me to start singing again. Thank you.

Leo, we are so touched, thank you for sharing. Sorry to hear of your tragedy 🥀
Это можно слушать бесконечно. Спасибо. Какое владение голосом---великолепно.
You represent the very best of what it is to be human! So thankful. (Penelope, it is good to see and hear you again--I last saw you singing Handel, and enjoyed your solo very much.)
Subtle, etherial, refined and...in the spirit of the best of the magical English Renaissance
Well, that's a new Dowland to me. Beautifully rendered.
Besides being perfect yourselves, you pick perfect accompanists.

Thank you 🥰
De la très belle musique avec simplement deux charmantes chanteuses .Le génie , c'est aussi dans la sobriété.Merci pour le partage.La langue anglaise à la renaissance savait être aussi mélodique que rythmique.
This song is as beautiful as the ladies singing it.
Absolutely gorgeous---exquisitely done---
Heaven.
Beautifully done, thank you for this
So beautiful! You have really captured Dowland's style! Thank you!
Una pena que no pongan la traducción al español de lo que cantan estas bellas voces, para nosotros los tontitos Latinos.
