Misc arr Ann Marshall
5 SSATB. Flora Gave Me Fairest Flowers - All At Once Well Met - All Creatures Now . This set comprises madrigals by Wilbye, Weelkes and Bennet. What they have in common is that they were written by Englishmen in the early 1600s - the Golden Age when English madrigals were held in high esteem throughout the world. Ann has chosen pieces that are all lively and vigorous, and include passages full of come ye wantons, here to play, fa la la la la and merry, merry, merry, merry, merry, words which strongly suggest a brisk tempo!
