Henry and William Lawes were not only brothers, they were friends who knew how to have a good time. Both were remarkably successful in their own right yet collectively a model of musical collaboration, and their music employs verses by many of the leading poets and dramatists of the time.

Tracks:

HENRY LAWES:
A Tale out of Anacreon
Oh, that joy so soon should waste
Sweet, stay awhile
why do you rise?
Amarillis, by a spring
From the heav'ns now I fly
Sweet Echo, sweetest nymph that liv'st unseen
Oh sweet woods, the delight of solitariness
Tavola: In quel gelato core una voce
Loves Sweet Repose: Amidst the myrtles as I walk
No Reprieve: Now, now Lucasia, now make haste
Slide soft, you silver floods
When shall I see my captive heart?
The Angler's Song: Man's life is but vain, for 'tis subject to pain
A Pastoral Elegie: Cease you jolly shepherds
WILLIAM LAWES:
Gather your rosebuds while you may
Oh, let me still and silent lie
Oh, my Clarissa, thou cruel fair
Corant from The Royall Consort
Country Dance
Alman for two lutes
Corant for two lutes
A Dreame: I laid me down upon a pillow soft
Corant for two lutes
When man for sin thy judgment feels
RENÉ SAMAN:
Monsieur Saman his Coranto
CUTHBERT HELY:
Fantasia
Saraband
