Lamentations of John Dowland

The Christ Church: Five Centuries of Music 1525-2025 festival is set to celebrate 500 years of music history, and one of its highly anticipated events is the performance of Lachrimae by Phantasm. This viol consort, known for their award-winning music, will bring to life the deeply expressive pavans of tears composed by John Dowland in 1604.

Lachrimae, consisting of seven pavans and subsequent dances, is a blend of dance and lament. The composition features four descending notes, from which Dowland derived the deeply emotional pavans. After the seven pavans, the piece concludes with dances dedicated to heroes, friends, and even pirates.

Phantasm's performance of Lachrimae is one of the events in the full listing of festival events at Christ Church. The listing can be found on the Music at Oxford website. The award-winning ensemble won both a Gramophone Award and the Diapason d'or de l'Année for their 2017 recording of Lachrimae.
