Just played on radio was a song by John Dowland sung by a counter tenor, as often seems to be the case. I'm sure in Dowland's time counter tenors or sopranos weren't the only people singing his and other contemporary songs, so I can't help wondering why that so often seems to be the norm now? We never seem to hear "Can she excuse my wrongs" - the song in case - sung by a robust baritone, or "Now, oh now, I needs must part" sung by a deeper female voice. The only exception that comes to mind was Sting's recording of Dowland songs several years ago.
