News of the week of July 14, 2026

We actually attempted to cancel this one, since everyone who was outside in the rain at 7PM didn’t feel like going out again. But someone who was inside then left without checking email. So we played some of the 2-part pieces from the beginning of the Dowland Second book, and then drank beer and ate fresh-baked bread.

We played:

• Dowland: I saw my ladie weepe; Flow my tears; Sorrow, sorrow stay; Die not before thy day; Mourne, mourne;

We played:

• Morley, Springtime mantleth every bough
• Dowland: Tosse not my soule; Come, heavy sleepe;
• Josquin: Dulcis exuviae; Petite camusette
• Arcadelt, Je ne suis pas si sot
• Ravenscroft, He that will an Alehouse keep

Thanks to Ishmael for taking notes.
