Dowland's Lachrimae (1604) is perhaps the greatest but most
enigmatic publication of instrumental music from before the
eighteenth century. This new handbook, the first detailed study of
the collection, investigates its publication history, its
instrumentation, its place in the history of Renaissance dance
music, and its reception history. Two extended chapters examine the
twenty-one pieces in the collection in detail, discussing the
complex internal relationships between the cycle of seven
'Lachrimae' pavans, the relationships between them and other pieces
inside and outside the collection, and possible connections between
the Latin titles of the seven pavans and Elizabethan conceptions of
melancholy. The extraordinarily multi-faceted nature of the
collection also leads the author to illuminate questions of
patronage, the ordering and format of the collection, pitch and
transposition, tonality and modality, and even numerology.
