Lamentations

for bass and theorbo Comprising 4 separate 'Lamentations', this work for bass voice and theorbo takes its text from John Donne's The Lamentations of Jeremy, and is set in Howard Skempton's characteristic pared-down style. A recording of Lamentations is available on the Delphian Records release of Skempton's choral music: 'The Cloths of Heaven' (Delphian Records / IODA), performed by Bartholomew Lawrence and James Akers.
