The work of Dutch born composer and lute player Jozef van Wissem is based on application of mirror images in lute composition. The work is idiomatic to lute tablature of around 1600. The pieces on this recording exhibit a large musical variety, ranging from decidedly peasant dances to refined melancholic forms that were most likely intended for a more refined public. The black side to Elizabethan life in the mythic 'Golden Age' of prosperity, fed by anxieties of disease, religious intolerance and future pessimism resulted in a vogue for the cultural and literary Melancholy cult. It was believed that religious uncertainties caused by the English Reformation and a greater attention being paid to issues of sin, damnation, and salvation, led to this effect. The melancholy man, known to contemporaries as a 'malcontent,' is epitomized by Shakespeare's Prince Hamlet.
