This week on In the Mode, we’ll hear some elegant melancholy, Dowland’s Lachrimae. There was a time when it was fashionable to be sad, there was even the cult of melancholy.  In 1604, Dowland published a collection called “Lachrimae or Seven Teares”, based on his song Flow My Tears, performed on violas da gamba by Jordi Savall and Hesperion XX.

This week on In The Mode, host Kristina Herrick features a tribute to Spanish soprano Montserrat Figueras, who died in 2011, next time on In the Mode.  Her husband, and musical partner and collaborator for 43 years, gambist Jordi Savall has gathered highlights from her career as a recording artist into a comprehensive double album and called it, "The Voice of Emotion."

This week on In The Mode, host Kristina Herrick features music from Llibre Vermell, the Red Book of Montserrat. This was music written for a very specific reason. The monastery at Monserrat had nowhere for the travelers to stay so they slept in the church itself. Not wanting to risk turning their church into a place where vulgar songs might be sung, the monks there wrote music that combined both the sound and feel of popular medieval Spanish music with the lessons of the church, really interesting music, Kristina Herrick hosts.
