Works
Fairest work of happy natureOf all the torments, all the cares
O turn not those fine eyes away
The self banish'd
Can she excuse my wrongs (The Right Honourable Robert, Earl of Essex, his Galliard), P42
Come, heavy sleep
In darkness let me dwell
My thoughts are winged with hopes
Now, O now, I needs must part
So so, leave off this last lamenting kisse
Have you seen the bright lily grow?
Fire, fire
No more shall meads be deckt with flowers
Stay, silly heart
A painted tale
Evening Hymn 'Now that the sun hath veiled his light', Z193
Not all my torments can your pity move, Z400
O solitude, my sweetest choice, Z406
She loves and she confesses too, Z413
Sweeter than Roses
Artists
Nicholas Phan (tenor)Michael Leopold (lute)
Ann-Marie Morgan (viola da gamba)

About
In ‘A Painted Tale’, his third solo album for Avie, tenor Nicholas Phan turns to songs of the English Renaissance and Baroque by Blow, Dowland, Ferrabosco, Lanier and Purcell, in a program which tells a story of love gained and then lost.
The composers presented on ‘A Painted Tale’ were greatly influenced Benjamin Britten, the muse of his two previous recordings - ‘Still falls the Rain’ (AV2258) and ‘Winter Words’ (AV2238), his solo debut recording which topped the Best Classical Recordings lists of NPR, The New Yorker, and The New York Times.
‘A Painted Tale’ - the title taken from a lyric by 16th century composer Thomas Morley - features songs with lute and viola da gamba. Describing the programme, Nick says, “Reading the poetry in these songs I am fascinated by how little the human experience has changed over the centuries. By assembling these various songs into what I call ‘a pastiche song cycle,’ I hope that creating a dramatic context for these pieces will highlight how relevant this material still is today”.
