Nancy Wilson, soprano, was in wonderful voice Friday as she sang two of Dowland's most famous ayres, "Say Love," and "Fine Knacks for Ladies." I wish she had sung some other Dowland songs, however.

Ferris took the final chorale, which was sung by the congregation as well as choir, at a slow tempo. It brought the cantata to a measured, dignified close. The cantata was a moving experience, in part because of its contribution as a religious statement within the Evensong's framework, but more as a purely musical success...
