Flow of my tears

By: John Dowland
Form: Ternary
Period: Renaissance

This is a piece with a vocal timbre accompanied by a lute.  It has a simple melody and a very simple harmony because it doesn't really interact with the lute.  The dynamics are also simple, starts with piano and very gradually grows to a slight forte.  It has a homophonic texture with a simple & slow rhythm.  This is a clear renaissance piece because of the wide range of emotion without the extreme contrasts, and not to mention its a clear Renaissance Lute song.
