Tomorrow marks the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's historic, mammoth sailing trip to the New World. With guidance from the Dutch East India Company, his goal was to locate a safe, short route from Amsterdam to Asia; he maneuvered his vessel and landed in the New World. This achievement is being celebrated with an exhibit "Amsterdam/New Amsterdam: The Worlds of "Henry Hudson" by the Museum of the City of New York.
For those who want to make their own festivities on this occasion, I am listing these musical suggestions:
Byrd, William. Consort Songs
Dowland, John. A Dream (Lute Music)
Morley, Thomas. Leave Now Mine Eyes
Tallis, Thomas. Third Tune: Why Fum'th in Fight
Tye, Christopher. Rachell's Weeping
