See How Cawood’s Dragon Looks (Lawes)

Movements

Notes

When Charles’s dispute with Parliament led to the outbreak of the Civil War, Lawes joined the Royalist army. During the Siege of York, Lawes was living in the city and wrote at least one piece of music as a direct result of the military situation – the round ‘See how Cawood’s dragon looks‘, a vivid and defiant response to the Parliamentarian capture of Cawood Castle, about ten miles from York
