Podcast appearances and mentions of John Dowland

When the jazz singer Cécile McLorin Salvant was profiled in The New Yorker, Wynton Marsalis described her as the kind of talent who comes along only “once in a generation or two.” Salvant's work is rooted in jazz—in the tradition of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan and Abbey Lincoln—and she has won three Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album. But her interests and her repertoire reach across eras and continents. She studied Baroque music and jazz at conservatory, and performs songs in French, Occitan, and Haitian Kreyòl. “I think I have the spirit of a kind of a radio d.j. slash curator,” she tells David Remnick. “It's almost like making a mixtape for someone and only putting deep cuts.” And even when singing the standards, she aims “to find the gems that haven't been sung and sung and sung over and over again.” During a summer tour, she visited the studio at WNYC to perform “Don't Rain on My Parade,” made famous by Barbra Streisand; “Can She Excuse My Wrongs,” by John Dowland, the English composer of the Elizabethan era; and “Moon Song,” an original from Salvant's album “Ghost Song.”This segment originally aired on May 31, 2024.

In this podcast Skip Sempé introduces his new album of music by John Dowland and talks about the Renaissance orchestra and why it creates such a unique and beautiful sound.  According to Sempé: "The idea of a ‘Renaissance Orchestra' in which all the different instrumental consorts are brought together is the overlooked message of these sixteenth- and seventeenth-century publications. Large ensembles, for important or commemorative occasions, were every bit as much the ‘composer's intention' as were smaller, intimate groups."

Les derniers opus de Mirta Álvarez et son tango de plus en plus raffiné.

A delightful collection of lute music from the courts of Queen  Elizabeth I and King James I, played by Italian lutenist Elisa La Marca.  This was a time of incredible cultural richness in England brought forth composers such as John Dowland and writers such as William Shakespeare.  Because the lute was one of the favoured instruments in court during this time, many of the best composers of the time either played the lute or wrote music for it.

Fast 20 Jahre ist es her, da sorgte der Popsänger Sting in der Klassik-Welt für Aufsehen, weil er ein ganzes Album mit Liedern des Renaissance-Komponisten John Dowland herausbrachte. Nun ist Sting wieder auf einem Album mit Alter Musik zu hören: er steuert einen Song bei auf der neuen CD des französischen Originalklang-Ensembles "thélème". Das ist für seine un-konventionellen Programme bekannt und kombiniert diesmal John Dowland mit dem Avantgarde-Komponisten John Cage. Von dem stammt auch der Titel des Albums: "All we get is life".

Melancholie mag nicht jedermanns Sache sein, aber Melancholie war ein herausragendes Merkmal der Musik des elisabethanischen Zeitalters, und damit der Musik von John Dowland. Denn Dowland war derjenige Komponist, der den Klang dieser Zeit prägte: mit seinen Lautenliedern - gesungen oder eben als Werke für Laute solo. Doch selbst wenn Dowland der prägende Musiker war, hatte er sein Leben lang damit zu kämpfen, dass sein größter Wunsch nicht erfüllt wurde. Unser ZOOM berichtet über diese Leidensgeschichte.

Thélème won Gramophone's Early Music Award in 2022 with their Aparté album of music by Josquin Desprez, ‘Baisiez-moi'. Now they return with a new programme, also for Aparté, ‘All we get is life', that brings together the music of John  Dowland and John Cage – with an extra track featuring Sting in his song ‘Shape of my Heart' which he performs alongside Thélème. James Jolly caught up with Thélème's Director and one of his vocalists, Jean-Christophe Groffe, to talk about what made him bring these two composers together on a single album.

Il y a eu un changement de temps en début de semaine, le soleil qui était enfin revenu a de nouveau cédé la place à la pluie. Ça correspond bien à la morosité ambiante depuis les élections. Je n'ai plus envie d'écouter les informations ou la radio alors pour me changer les idées, j'ai réécouté le concert de Lea Desandre, Thomas Dunford et l'ensemble Jupiter qui ont joué des pièces de John Dowland et Henry Purcell mardi dernier, à la maison de la radio. Felicia et moi avons assisté à ce concert dont le thème était la mélancolie amoureuse. www.onethinginafrenchday.com  

There was a change in the weather at the start of the week, with the sun that had finally returned giving way once again to rain. It's in keeping with the gloomy mood I've been in since the elections. I don't feel like listening to the news or the radio any more, so to take my mind off things I listened again to the concert by Lea Dessandre, Thomas Dunford and the Jupiter Ensemble, who played pieces by John Dowland and Henry Purcell last Tuesday at the Maison de la Radio. Felicia and I attended the concert, the theme of which was melancholy in love. I'd had the tickets for a long time, hoping that she would be able to come. Everything becomes uncertain as the end of the year approaches.  In the notes that come with the transcript, we'll look at three very natural expressions in French that I want to tell you about. I'll also share with you some practical phrases relating to culture: going to the theatre, a concert, etc.  So to cultivate your French without melancholy and benefit from all the positive effects of having the exact text of the transcript, you could subscribe to the Cultivate Your French transcript at www.cultivateyoufrench.com. The subscription costs 4 euros a month and each new subscriber receives the 10 latest episodes.

In this final part to their survey of different musical elements, Jon and Haz imagine cartwheels in Bach, the weight of silence, whether John Dowland had any party hits, how Mariah Carey would sing Twinkle Twinkle and, rather disturbingly, what Jon would look like in a bikiniSupport the Show.www.artsactive.org.ukEmail a2@artsactive.org.ukTwitter @artsactiveInstagram artsactivecardiff Facebook artsactive#classicalmusic #stdavidshall #neuadddewisant #drjonathanjames #bravingthestave #musicconversations #funfacts #guestspeakers #cardiff

Karim Said is a pianist, conductor and Jordan's new Performing Arts Institute Director of Music. He founded the Amman Chamber Orchestra in 2018. I met Karim few years ago where we had a discussion over one of my podcast series and he had something to tell me about the secularity of Bach's Music. This episode was a learning experience for me as Karim has a wealth of knowledge to share with listeners and people who are keen to learn about Music. He talks about Schoenberg, Enescu, Bach, John Dowland, Bernstein and much more...

In deze aflevering van Kalm met Klassiek staan we stil bij de herdenking op 4 mei, morgen. De muziek sluit aan bij het trompetsignaal dat iets voor 20.00 uur overal in het land zal klinken: de taptoe. Het stuk dat je vandaag gaat horen komt oorspronkelijk uit dezelfde tijd waarin dit trompetsignaal bedacht is, en wordt hier uitgevoerd op vijf koperblazers. 'Lachrimae tristes' van John Dowland in deze moderne uitvoering is waardige muziek om gezamenlijk bij stil te staan. Wil je meer Kalm met Klassiek?

Sting setzte in den 90er Jahren fort, was er als Solo-Künstler begonnen hatte: er schuf melodische, seelenvolle Lieder. Stilistisch einengen ließ er sich aber nicht. Nur konsequent erscheint da sein Ausflug in die Barockmusik, gemeinsam mit einem Lautisten nahm er Lieder von John Dowland auf und performte auch eigene Songs in diesem Stil. Für viele Fans kam das unerwartet, genau wie das folgende Album mit historischen Winter- und Weihnachtsliedern. Stets suchte er nach neuen künstlerischen Mitteln und liebte den Austausch mit ausgewählten Mitmusikern wie Dominic Miller oder Manu Katché. Sting probierte auf „Symphonicities“ aus, wie alte Police- und neuere eigene Lieder mit einem Orchester klingen. Das Musical „The Last Ship“ erzählte von seiner Kindheit und seinen Erinnerungen an das Leben in einer Hafen- und Werftstadt. Auch wenn es nicht dauerhaft am Broadway lief, zeigte es, welche auch literarischen Ideen Sting mit Musik zu verbinden in der Lage war. Ein Reggae-Album mit dem jamaikanischen Superstar Shaggy zeigte erneut seine Spielfreude und den Spaß am musikalischen Austausch. Aber auch weitere Alben mit Rockmusik veröffentlichte Sting, das jüngste 2021, gefolgt von zahlreichen umjubelten Konzerten rund um die Welt. Der Applaus, aber auch viele Ehrungen wie der Polar Music Prize künden von Weltruf und der überaus großen Wertschätzung für den Musiker Sting.

Interpreten: Dorothee Mields, Magdalene Harer, Boreas Quartett Bremen, Hathor Consort Label: audite EAN: 4022143978189 Die CD des Tages Konkurrenz in dieser Woche war mit Stars wie Maurice Steger oder Hélène Grimaud stark. Und trotzdem ist die Auswahl von Michael Gmasz auf ein ganz spezielles Alte-Musik Album mit Dorothee Mields, Magdalene Harer, dem Boreas Quartett Bremen und dem Hathor Consort gefallen. Warum, erklärt er wie immer selbst. Es gibt Wochen, in denen steht schon bei der Erstauswahl der jeweiligen CDs des Tages, also noch vor dem Durchhören, fest, welche CD am Ende der Woche als CD der Woche gefeiert wird. Und dann gibt es Wochen, da fällt die Auswahl auf den ersten Blick ein wenig schwerer und erst der musikalische Eindruck führt zum Ergebnis. So geschehen dieser Tage. Natürlich sind auch die anderen ausgewählten CDs großartig, aber die neue CD On Byrd's Wings von Dorothee Mields, Magdalene Harer, dem Boreas Quartett Bremen und dem Hathor Consort hat mich von den ersten Klängen an gefesselt und gepackt. Das ist sicher auch meiner Vorliebe für Renaissancemusik im Allgemeinen und schöne Stimmen im Speziellen geschuldet. Consortmusik von William Byrd und seiner englischen Zeitgenossen und Schüler erklingt auf dieser CD in Blockflöten und Gambenfassung. Mal getrennt voneinander, dann wieder gemeinsam. Zum Boreas Quartett Bremen, den Blockflöten, und dem Hathor Consort, also den Gamben, gesellen sich die beiden wunderbaren Sopranstimmen von Dorothee Mields und Magdalene Harer, die jede für sich ihre Soloauftritte haben, jedoch vor allem in den Duetten zu wahrer Hochform auflaufen. Herrlich verschmelzen die beiden Stimmen in wohliger Konsonanz, wenn sie sich z.B. bei Henry Lawes über die Gestalt eines guten Kusses austauschen. Im goldenen englischen Zeitalter, also während der Regentschaft Elisabeths der ersten, und der Zeit danach hat England eine Hoch-Zeit an Kunst und Kultur erlebt. Neben William Shakespeare, Walter Raleigh oder Christopher Marlowe waren es vor allem die Komponisten Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, John Dowland oder Orlando Gibbons, die diese Ära künstlerisch geprägt haben. Einige finden sich neben Byrd auf unserer CD der Woche. Augen zu und sich von der wunderbaren Musik mit so großartigen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern einfach beflügeln lassen! (mg)

Ou tout ceci n'est-il qu'une persona artistique ? Enquête sur le grand compositeur "mélancolique". - réalisé par : Philippe Petit

'Parthenia or the Maydenhead of the first musicke that ever was printed for the Virginalls (in England at least), composed by three famous masters: William Byrd, Dr. John Bull and Orlando Gibbons' was probably printed in 1613. As the chief counsellor in the last years of Queen Elizabeth I's reign and the first years of James I's, Robert Cecil, the Earl of Salisbury was at the centre of a web of political patronage, artistic patronage, and a web of spies that seems to have included musicians. John Edwards and Louise Hung talk about Salisbury's patronage of the arts, especially the art of music, his musical instrument collection and his collection of musicians. At the end of the chat you'll hear Louise play William Byrd's Pavana Earl of Salisbury and Galiardo secundo from Parthenia. Further reading: Patronage, Culture and Power: The Early Cecils ed. Pauline Croft and John Dowland by Diana Poulton.

Elizabeth Pallett is a wonderful British lute player.  Her love of Renaissance music and history is infectious and she has generously provided this episode with several of her beautifully produced YouTube videos; her channel Luteweb is linked below, as well as her duo Amarylli with soprano Hannah Grove. We talk about the history of the evolution of plucked instruments in Europe, and many fascinating historical figures including Dowland and Shakespeare.

William Kanengiser and the Alexander String Quartet — British Invasion (Foghorn Classics) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - William Kanengiser and Ian Krouse by “When I was in high school, I was in a rock band called Euphoria. We did all these covers. I had massive hair,” guitarist William Kanengiser says. “Even though I'm a classical guitarist, I have a background in rock, jazz, flamenco and world music. The whole vibe of this recording is something that comes naturally.” That vibe is the British Invasion of the ‘60s and ‘70s in guitar quintet form, featuring Kanengiser, best known as a founding member of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet, and the Alexander String Quartet.  Kanengiser joins the Alexander String in their first album, British Invasion. It features incredible pieces inspired by Led Zeppelin, Sting and the Beatles. Kanengiser and composer Ian Krouse talk about how this project came together. How did the Led Zeppelin-inspired piece “Labyrinth” come about? Krouse: “I am also a guitarist, although I stopped playing many years ago. Growing up, I was interested in rock music and the Beatles, the Stones and Jimi Hendrix. I played in bands and learned how to do folk fingerpicking, which was my gateway to classical music. “I don't even remember how it started, but Bill and I were talking, and the idea of me writing a piece for the LAGQ based on a Led Zeppelin song came into view. We both thought, ‘Yeah, let's do this.' I jumped right on it and wrote ‘Labyrinth.' The original version was for four guitars. “A few years ago, Bill called me and asked if I would consider making a new version of ‘Labyrinth' for guitar and string quartet. The words were hardly out of your mouth when I said, ‘Absolutely.'” Kanengiser: “Although it's a classical guitar, I strung a second guitar with specialized steel strings. I have steel strings on the trebles and play with a pick. I get to do a bottleneck slide solo in this open rock tuning. “He writes a passacaglia in a baroque form. There's a 12-tone fugue on the subject. It's an intense piece. That's the highest level of composition. This is a crossover pop tune and a serious, amazing contemporary composition.” Tell me about “Prims: Six Songs,” by Sting, and the composer who made it. Kanengiser: “Dušan Bogdanović has been my dear friend for decades. Sting did a project quite a few years ago where he approached the music of John Dowland. He worked with lutist Edin Karamazov, who is good friends with Dušan. Edin commissioned Dušan to write these arrangements. “There's this beautiful letter that Sting wrote to Dušan saying, ‘You took the broken fragments of my songs and turned them into a flight of nightingales.'” How did the work of John Dowland end up on this recording? Kanengiser: “He was like a rock star, the Jimmy Page of the Elizabethan age. I knew Ian had written this spectacular piece called ‘Music and Four Sharps,' based on ‘Frog Galliard,' by Dowland. Krouse: “I've always enjoyed the thrill of music that picks you up and takes you somewhere else over many minutes. In both pieces, the goal was to unleash energy and passion. “ British Invasion Official Trailer (William Kanengiser & The Alexander String Quartet) To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

In his liner note for At First Light, Ralph Towner writes of the singularity of having most of his life's work at one record label. He's been an ECM artist for more than fifty years, appearing in many different contexts, one of the most important being a run of solo recordings which began with Diary in 1973. At First Light is the newest addition to the solo guitar series. “My solo recordings,” says Towner, “have always included my own compositions in which there are trace elements of the composers and musicians that have attracted me over the years. Musicians such as George Gershwin, John Coltrane, John Dowland, Bill Evans, to name a few. The blend of keyboard and guitar techniques is an important aspect of my playing and composition, and I feel that this album is a good example of shaping this expanse of influences into my personal music.”Track Listing:1 Flow2 Strait3 Make Someone Happy4 Ubi Stunt5 Guitarra Piccante6 At First Light7 Danny Boy8 Fat Foot9 Argentinian Nights10 Little Old Lady11 Empty StageClassical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber and Apple Classical. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#LaMusicaFestival #CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com This album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).

When British saxophonist Jess Gillam refers to her Carnegie Hall debut as "a real dream come true," she's being literal. Since the age of 12, she's dreamt of taking to New York City's fabled stage and sharing her passion for the saxophone with the audience. Gillam's dream became reality in October, when she and pianist Thomas Weaver performed a wide-ranging program of music — from Telemann and John Dowland to Meredith Monk and Barbara Thompson — at Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall. For Gillam, it was important that her program not only reflected the capabilities of her instrument, but also allowed her to forge meaningful connections with the audience. "It's important for me to play music that I really resonate with, music that really speaks to me so that I can tell the story well and share that story with the audience," Gillam says on the latest episode of the Classical Post podcast. "That was my main aim last night — to create an atmosphere and a place for the audience to exist." That insatiable drive to share her excitement about classical music has led to a bevy of remarkable opportunities and honors. At just 24 years old, Gillam remains the youngest presenter to host a BBC Radio 3 program — the wildly popular This Classical Life — and in 2018 she was a soloist at the Last Night of the Proms, perhaps the biggest and most prestigious event in British classical music. She was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire for her service to British music and was the first saxophonist to be signed to Decca Classics. And her debut album, Rise, hit the top spot on the UK Classical chart in 2019. In this episode, Gillam and I talk more about her Carnegie debut and the projects she has lined up for 2023 — including the premiere of a new concerto written for her by Anna Clyne, which she'll perform with the Detroit Symphony. Plus, she shares how film, fashion, and nature fuel her creativity, her fanatical love of Nairn's oatcakes, and why there's nothing more important to her than "being as kind as possible." — Classical Post® is a leading podcast based in New York. Our content uncovers the creativity behind exceptional music through dynamic deep-dive interviews with prominent artists in the world today.

Presenter Tom Service visits the Pit Theatre at the Barbican to learn more about a new theatrical meditation on the bittersweet consolations of sorrow. He speaks to countertenor Iestyn Davies about the melancholy of John Dowland's music and its power to process grief, while the director Netia Jones tells Tom how she's weaved together creative visuals with philosophical musings of Robert Burton's 17th-century treatise The Anatomy of Melancholy as well as those of Freud and other contemporary experts of the human condition. As the BBC celebrates its centenary, Music Matters is joined by composers Matthew Herbert and Anna Meredith, and Artistic Associate of the Southbank Gillian Moore, to discuss the corporation's role as a commissioner of contemporary repertoire during the past 100 years. Tom catches-up with composer Tom Floyd, singer Sophie Goldrick, and Professor Marion Thain during rehearsals of a new opera, Veritable Michael, which charts the creative life and love affair of two women who operated together under the pseudonym Michael Field – a 19th century fictional author whose work was celebrated by the likes of Oscar Wilde and Robert Browning. And Tom takes a trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum where he'd joined by Harriet Reed, the co-curator of Re:Imagining Musicals – a new display of glittering costumes and musical memorabilia – to explore the craftmanship, creative renewal, and evolutionary impetus behind some of the most iconic musicals of the past seven decades.

My guest today on the Classical Post podcast is singer, cellist, and composer Ayanna Witter-Johnson who makes her debut at Madison Square Garden as part of Andrea Bocelli's US tour this December. I'm sure you realize the significance of someone debuting in front of a crowd that could be upwards of 20,000 people. It's an incredible feat. One of the really beautiful things that Bocelli has done for other artists is brought them on tour with him, which gives them enormous levels of recognition they might not get otherwise simply because of the vast amount of people that crowd into these stadiums to hear him sing. Ayanna, who joins me today in the Classical Post studio, finds herself with that exciting opportunity—on stage with Bocelli, making a very important splash in New York's iconic venue, Madison Square Garden. I personally find her artistry so vibrant, exuding a light that is just exciting to be around. We discuss her musical origins that are very much grounded in numerous genres—coupled with her education as being a seriously trained classical musician at Manhattan School of Music—and producing a sound that is uniquely hers, flavored with alternative R&B. This sound world is particularly evident on a new single called "Flow My Tears", recently arranged by John Aram, but originally, the music was written by John Dowland in 1596. Yes, you heard that correctly. It's over 400 years old. Ayanna brings to life Mr. Aram's arrangement of an atmospheric, beat-driven ancient song, now built for streaming online. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Ayanna Witter-Johnson and that it inspires you to explore this artist who will certainly light up Madison Square Garden this month. -- Classical Post explores the intersection of classical music, style, and wellness, diving into meaningful conversations with leading artists from an array of different backgrounds.
