O Lusty May for alto voice and lute (mp3)

This is an untitled piece performed by David Solomons as the alto and Bob Glover on the lute. The song exclaims the joy of May, personified with Flora, the queen of flowers. It describes the dewy drops reflecting the radiant beams of Phoebus, the sun god, that precede the dawn. The song then ties the growth of greenery to Diana, the goddess of the moon and nature, owing to the vibrancy of the delightful May. The song concludes with a mention of Esperus, the evening star, noted for its exceptional brightness.
