For the original CD program, the music was that of the 16th century British composer John Dowland, except for "Have You Seen the Bright Lily Grow", a song by Dowland's contemporary
Robert Johnson. The 2008 re-release adds two live recordings of Sting-penned songs performed on lutes, as well as a live recording, in the same style, of "
Hellhound on My Trail" by another Robert Johnson - the
Delta blues musician, and an alternate version of "Have You Seen the Bright Lily Grow". The latter is omitted from the 2013 "Dowland Anniversary Edition" of the album, which, however, includes all of the live recordings. The track list includes readings from a letter by Dowland to
Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury. The lyrics to many of Dowland's songs are anonymous. • "Walsingham" – 0:38 [instrumental] • "
