What lute and voice settings are there of poems by John Donne (a long-time
favourite poet of mine)? I'm also interested in settings for viols and voice
or voices.

There are 2 exquisite settings of An Hymn to God the Father (Willst
thou forgive that sin...), one by Hilton (perhaps commissioned by
Donne himself?) and another by Pelham Humfrey. Nigel North and Paul
Hillier have recorded the Hilton along with some other Donne settings
on The Rags
Nigel North recorded a CD entitled, The Rags of Time, along with vocalist
Paul Hillier, on Harmonia Mundi (HMU 907257). It contains songs with
Donn'e texts, as well as narration of some of his works. I recommend it.

Dowland? Which song?
Together with Marlow, Donne and Dowland shared the same female patron, Lucy,
Countess of Bedford. I suppose a concert programme of the three has been
done many times?

Hi, Rob and all,
This query has prompted me to dig out my copy of Poemes de Donne, Herbert, et
Crashaw mis en musigue par leur contemporains, transcription et realisation par
Andre Souris. (Pardonnez moi, mes amis. I haven't figured out how to do
diacritics in email yet...) It was published
The casual reader might mistake Sleep stay awhile for Donne, though
the opening is similar, it is not Donne.
So so, leave off has one or two very minor differences from Donne's
text, such as changing ask'd to ask. as well as the usual orthograhic
confusion
of soules and selves.
