'Songs of sorrow, songs of joy' is a homage to John Dowland. What is perhaps his most intimate lute song, 'In darkness let me dwell', is heard in full in this Viola Concerto in orchestral apparel, though it is repeatedly shrouded to the point of inaudibility within fragile, nervous or static soundscapes.
