  “To my loving countryman, Mr. John Forster the younger, merchant of Dublin, in Ireland.”  • In thus dedicating the song ‘From Silent Night’ in his collection A Pilgrim’s Solace (1612), John Dowland reveals his possible Irish origins. Was Dowland, often considered the first great English composer, actually Irish? He may have belonged to an old Irish family, the O’Dolans, who settled in Dublin in the middle of the 16th century.  • Dowland is mainly known today for the expressiveness of his Ayres. In putting together this project, La Nef chosen to concentrate on the more light-hearted side of Dowland. Working closely with American tenor Michael Slattery, La Nef start to strip some of Dowland’s Ayres of their complex, contrapuntal accompaniments, giving them a simple, Celtic flavor.  • Michael Slattery was praised by Gramophone magazine for his performance of traditional repertoire: "Michael Slattery has a stellar career ahead of him. It's a real joy to hear this traditional music... Performed beautifully and idiomatically by such a talented and serious artist." Career highlights include Peter Sellars ‘Tristan Project’ at Lincoln Center, the title role in Bernstein's Candide at Royal Festival Hall in London, and Monteverdi's L'Orfeo at the Châtelet Theater in Paris, the Staatsoper in Berlin, and at Glimmerglass.  • La Nef is a musical group dedicated to creating and producing early and contemporary music. Since its beginning, in 1991, La Nef has been attentive to the historical and theatrical settings of its musical-theatrical shows, and historical and literary themes underpin all its concerts of early and traditional music.

The concept of “melancholy” held a special place in English art of the 16th and 17th Centuries. Rather than being considered depressive mental condition, it was seen as a deeply poetic element of soaring ecstasy with the power to inspire even bigger, even better deeds. It is no surprise that the subject of “melancholy” came to characterize much of the English music for lute, and the inspiration for much complex and colorful music. Joyful dances, contrapuntal fantasies, and pavanes which luxuriate in chromaticism are all to be found here. Only the most beautiful, haunting works were chosen for this recording. Naturally, John Dowland is represented! His "Lachrimae" was a true international HIT in it’s day, and Dowland capitalized on its success by providing numerous editions and arrangements. The program also features the work of other, lesser-known masters such as Francis Cutting, John Johnson and many others who brought the English Lute School to its highest development around 1600. Oh, Merry Melancholy! After having explored the repertoire of France, Italy, Germany and Austria, Joachim Held now presents this CD of English lute music. Throughout these recordings, he has shown not only the diversity which then prevailed in Europe, he also presented his own amazing abilities and stylistic flexibility and mastery of different musical idioms. It shows once again that Joachim Held is one of the best lute players in the world.
