If his music lacks the depth and harmonic richness of a John Dowland, Thomas Campion can still be counted among the early-17th-century masters of the lute song, a genre that Henry de Rouville described as a "miniature for voice and lute, with the accompaniment creating an atmosphere ranging from pastoral calm to unhappy love," and in which one finds "this sad humour, so typically British, which gives one the impression that one's tears would like to dance."

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Masques is a Montreal-based early music ensemble founded in 1998, performing vocal and instrumental music of the 17th and 18th centuries. The name of the ensemble is inspired by the masques of the Elizabethan England - mystical performances which fused poetry, music, dance and drama.

Shannon Mercer - Her voice has been described as luminous, dazzling and shining and her acting witty, delightful, and feisty - Shannon Mercer is taking on the opera world as one of Canada's most promising young stars.
