"Lawes's music for more than one solo voice includes dialogues, partsongs (some with a solo section), and catches. Dialogues are settings of a short incident involving two or more characters, usually ending with a chorus. The partsongs include contrapuntal multi-voiced pieces, similar to solo declamatory songs, but with more voices. Several are for the theater. Some are harmonized airs, tuneful airs with extra voice parts, including dance songs. Several are energetic drinking songs. Lawes was a prolific writer of catches. Catches, mainly used as drinking songs, generally have a humorous content, often bawdy, and often involving play on words. Four of Lawes's catches, all drinking songs, were composed for the theatre." --
