Flow My Tears

This is a Trombone solo by Adam DJ Taylor

‘Flow My Tears’, also known as Lachrimae Pavane is a lute song (an ayre) by John Dowland (1562-1626). The song and its melody became very well-known and influential at the time of it’s release and became the composers signature song – literally as well as metaphorically: he would often sign his name ‘Jo. Dowland de Lachrimae” The following arrangement was produced as the soloist piece for Wingates Band’s appearance at the 2015 Brass in Concert competition at the Sage Gatesehead. The theme of the programme presented was ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and the following arrangement was used to represent ‘The Room of Tears’. The other pieces presented were:’Mad March Hare’s March and the Well Crazy TeaParty’ (available late 2017), ‘Piano Concerto Number 2 by Rachmaninov’ and ‘Dreaming’ by Schumann (available from Cantatio Music).
