ENGLISH SONG: Ah! The syghes that come fro� my heart
Time of Henry VII
Music: Anonymous - Text: Anonymous
By the time of Henry the VIII the English were recognized throughout Europe as a musical nation. Erasmus writes � they excel the whole world in the beauty of their women, their knowledge of music and the excellence of their table.� The folk music of England evolved over the centuries to produce a quintessentially English quality that bore no resemblance to the folk music of any other land. The use of poetry was a powerful influence on the character of the English song and composers continually strove to fit the music closely to the poetry to add pathos to the words. In Henry Lawes collection of �Ayres and Dialogues� there are many fine examples of the marriage of sound to sense and Lawes desired to �set words with just note and accent.�
One of the earliest known examples of this characteristic in English song occurs in �Ah! The syghes that come fro� my heart� at the cadential point where the musical expression and emphasis is placed on the words � from my love depart�.
