Together with the lutenist Robert Spencer, Bowman arranged the programme to reflect the repertory of the theatre and court and the career of John Dowland, with a final homage to Italy, the cradle of early song. The recordings of Purcell's Birthday Odes date from 1975. Between 1689 and 1694, Henry Purcell produced an annual ode for the celebration of Queen Mary's birthday. The last and best known is Come, Ye Sons of Art, which drew on the composer's recent successes in the theatre by employing a larger orchestra than usual (with trumpets, oboes and recorders) and giving the chorus a more prominent role. From the late 1960s the countertenor James Bowman was at the forefront of the early music revival. He made his London debut at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in 1967 and enjoyed a decade of work with David Munrow and the Early Music Consort, later collaborating with Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music. In the early 1970s Bowman and the Early Music Consort made ground-breaking recordings of Medieval and Renaissance music, also pioneering historically accurate practice in music of the 17th century, notably with the album 'Monteverdi's Contemporaries' (1976).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_transparent_blue_background_correct_version_80976754-e9e0-46de-b62f-ac42fe034a4c_480x480.png?v=1646155801\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_transparent_blue_background_correct_version_80976754-e9e0-46de-b62f-ac42fe034a4c_480x480.png?v=1646155801\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Disc 1 -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 O Mistress Mine\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Take, O Take Those Lips Away\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Gray's Inn Masque\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Wilson's Wild\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 The Willow Song\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 Melancholy Gailiard\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7 Full Fathom Five\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8 Where the Bee Sucks\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9 Care-Charming Sleep\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10 Eliza Is the Fairest Queen\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e11 The Noble Famous Queen\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12 Gaiarda la Royne D'escosse\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e13 The Queen's Galliard\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14 Miserere, My Maker\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e15 Away with These Self-Loving Lads\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e16 Lasso Vita Mia\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e17 Lachrimae, or Seven Tears: No. 21, Mr. George Whitehead His Almand\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e18 Now, O Now I Needs Must Part\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e19 In Darkness Let Me Dwell\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e20 Se L'aura Spira\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e21 Morto Son Io\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e22 Fantasia for Lute\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e23 Tortorella\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e24 So Ben Mi C'ha Bon Tempo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Disc 2 -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Come, Ye Sons of Art Away, Z. 323: I.
