Are my Score Lines emails still reaching your inbox?

Since mid-December some of my Score Lines newsletters have been marked as spam or phishing emails, particularly by Gmail. If you haven’t seen my emails for a while and have wondered where they’ve gone, please would you check your spam folder. If you find them there, I’d be really grateful if you could mark them as ‘safe’, ‘not phishing’ or ‘not spam’ - the precise terminology varies between different email companies. Please don’t be concerned by any warnings about dangerous links - my emails are completely safe, with no fraudulent links.

I’m pleased to say my emails seem to be reaching their destination safely once again, but I’ve added a list of the pieces I’ve shared since the problem began below for those who’ve missed some of my emails.

My next Score Lines email will be published on Tuesday 17th March at 7.30am. Please check your spam folder if my message doesn’t pop into your inbox that day

John Dowland – Four Partsongs:

A small selection of pieces from Dowland’s The First Booke of Songs or Ayres, written in 1597. Dowland published these charming pieces in part books, with each double page spread featuring the melody line with an accompaniment in lute tablature, as well as four separate vocal parts. This dual purpose publication made them useful for solo singers and consorts, as well as being remarkably frugal in terms of the paper required to print them. They are unmistakeably typical of Dowland’s melancholic style, with beautiful harmonies and sense of longing in the melodic lines.
