''Early Music (Lachrymæ Antiquæ)'' (the subtitle means "Ancient Tears" in Latin) is a studio album by the Kronos Quartet, containing 21 compositions, many of which written, arranged, or transcribed for the quartet. The title track is from Dowland's Lachrimae, or Seaven Teares of 1604. ==Compositions== The album contrasts adaptations for string quartet of music from the Middle Ages and early Renaissance with 20th-century compositions. The earliest piece is by the ninth-century Byzantine abbess, poet and composer Kassia; the most recent pieces are by the twentieth-century composers John Cage, Alfred Schnittke, and Arvo Pärt. Arranging and selecting compositions from ten centuries of music was intended, according to David Harrington, the quartet's founder, "to find a way of relating vastly different pieces to one time, to find a place in time where the elements meet." Harrington described the contrast between old and new music as crucial to the quartet: "There are moments when the music could have come out of the Middle Ages; there are other moments when it sounds like it's coming out of the Vietnam War, let's say. That contrast is something we've been working with for a long time." Allan Kozinn, writing in ''The New York Times'', describes the album as a concept album in which "the distinctions between old and new are blurred, and the effect is comforting rather than disconcerting."
