In Darkness Let Me Dwell is a lute song by John Dowland (1563-1626) that was first published in 1610. John Dowland was an English composer, vocalist and lutenist that composed many beautiful songs for voice and lute, as well as works in other genres. I chose to arrange this work first for Choir, as I felt that his musical aesthetic was similar to my own and therefore his use of harmony would lend itself to expansion. The melody and lyrics are both stunningly beautiful, and I feel that as a composer he was very much ahead of his time in his treatment of harmony and particularly of dissonance.
