Echoes of Jacobean England Video(VHS/DVD). The music of this golden age of English song—the age of the Mature Shakespeare, of John Donne and John Dowland—is re-created with maximum authenticity in this program. From the melancholy of Thomas Campion’s songs to the cheerful vigor of Italian dances, the selections are performed in period costumes and settings, by soprano Tessa Bonner and members of Astraea, one of England’s premier early music ensembles performing on the lute, gittern, bandora, theorbo, and viol, among others.
