About "4 Lachrimae Amara (Improvisation)" by Andrew Lawrence King
An improvisation on Dowland's 'Lachrimae Amara'—bitter tears. Lawrence-King lets the harp's strings weep in slow, drooping arcs, each ornament a fresh wound. The calm of the repeating ground bass is poisoned by a creeping dissonance, grief held at arm's length but always threatening to spill.
