From 1598 to 1606 Dowland entered the service of Christian IV of Denmark as court lutenist. Having had the opportunity to go to England both for the musical needs of the court and "on his own account," he stayed in London from the summer of 1603 to the summer of 1604. During this stay he published Lachrimae or Seaven Teares (1604), a collection he dedicated to Anne of Denmark, sister of Christian IV and, since 1589, wife of the new king, James I.

Lachrimae is Dowland's only publication of consort music and the only collection for a string consort and lute. It consists of five parts for a viol consort (or instruments of the violin family) and one part for lute in tablature. All parts are not printed in separate scores, as was common at the time, but on a single folio: All six performers could read their part from two facing pages by sitting around the table and placing the book in the center. The fact that "book singing" corresponds to polyphony par excellence says a lot about the crucial function that the graphic arrangement of the music on the panels containing it also has for the performance.

The unique graphic solution developed for polyphonic music is the "tables" layout chosen by John Dowland for the publication of Lachrimae or Seaven Teares. The six parts of the music are printed on two side-by-side large-format pages (folio) and arranged so that the open book is in the center of a table and the musicians are spread out on the pages so that everyone has their part facing the right way. The ideal performance condition is still today, if possible, the open "book" on a table and the performers around it in the positions foreseen by the author, in order to faithfully recreate the original sound conditions of this music, allowing a listening experience that combines the visual and auditory aspects of the concert in a single, more intense perceptual sensation.
