Madrigals
t El Grillo—arr. Russell Robinson. This arrangement of
Josquin's tongue-in-cheek "day in the life of a cricket"
offers an opportunity for three-part mixed choirs to
experience this classic literature. Mostly homophonic,
with several call-and-response moments, this
delightful arrangement may be sung a cappella or
with the provided piano part. Italian and English texts
are included, as is a pronunciation guide.

t Je Le Vous Dirai—Pierre Certon/Porterfield.
This whimsical French chanson "gossips" about
a husband jealous of his beautiful wife. A new
English text is provided, but the original French text
is included as a performance option. Limited ranges
in all parts make for easy learning of this delightful
edition of Certon's 16th century gem!

4t Late in My Rash Accounting—Thomas Weelkes/
arr. John Leavitt. Excerpted from "The SAB Choir
Goes Renaissance," this madrigal offers carefully
crafted choral parts that are accessible for young,
developing singers while retaining the harmonic
structure of the original. Alternating between
homophony and polyphony, this a cappella work
is a perfect concert or festival choice that offers
plenty of educational opportunity. In keeping
with the style of the Renaissance, an optional
hand percussion part has been added as a
possible enhancement.

Ht Mouse Madrigal—arr. Steven Porter. Three
Blind Mice has never sounded like this before!
Steven Porter's "sophisticated tongue-in-
cheek" treatment of the familiar folk song is
perfect for the serious treble choir looking for a
bit of fun!

t Now Is the Month of Maying!—Thomas Morley/
arr. Kirby Shaw. This is a surprising departure
from what you'd expect when you read the title.
An intriguing mix of old and new, Kirby Shaw's
treatment of the Thomas Morley madrigal retains
the original vocal parts in dancing counterpoint on
the verses while adding a fresh rhythmic refrain
of fa-la-las at the beginning and end. With a
shaker accompaniment, this spritely a cappella
arrangement builds ensemble skills such as
intonation, flexibility, balance, and blend. A fun new
take on an old favorite!

l
Pastime with Good Company—Henry VIII/
arr. Steven Rickards. This Renaissance madrigal,
attributed to King Henry VIII, celebrates the joys
of dancing, singing, and hunting. An ornamented
melody and open harmonies throughout set up
this style perfectly. Detailed performance notes
offer suggestions for presenting an authentic and
stylistic performance by employing instruments and
ostinato percussion lines. Unique!

lt Shoot, False Love, I Care Not—Thomas Morley/
arr. John Leavitt. Fashioned after the 16th-century
Italian ballettos which featured the popular "fa, la,
la" refrains, this challenging a cappella madrigal
presents wonderful educational opportunities
packaged in a piece that will make an exciting
festival opening selection. Carefully edited and
presented in an authentic arrangement, this classic
madrigal exudes joy and hilarity that your concert
choir will love to express.

t
A Social Madrigal—Nathan Howe. In this
clever madrigal novelty, 16th-century harmony
meets 21st-century technology! It sings the
story of a couple falling in love, with some help
from Google, Facebook, and Twitter. Performed
a cappella or with optional piano, it is simply
delightful in the way the words of today are sung
as though by singers in Shakespeare's time.
Optional narration is provided to add to the fun.
Highly recommended!

Nothing," this three-movement work by Emma Lou
Diemer is well-conceived for more experienced

choice" for festival choirs year after year.

Throw Open Your Shutters! (A Festive
Madrigal)—Amy Feldman Bernon. The festive
style of this high-energy original will add a
colorful flair to any program! Jaunty accents
and staccatos in the middle "Hey! Ding-a
dong" sections highlight the wonderful interplay
between voice parts and add to the merriment
as the piece builds to a thrilling climax. Useful for
Christmas or any time of year!

What If I Never Speed?—John Dowland/arr.
Russell Robinson. Middle school choirs benefit
greatly from exposure to madrigal literature, and
this arrangement of Dowland's expressive work will
fit your three-part mixed or SSA ensemble perfectly.
Largely homophonic, the selection also has some
characteristic "echo" passages that add interest
and color to the presentation.

lt You Lovers That Have Loves Astray—John
Hilton/arr. Matthew Michaels. Fashioned after
the Italian ballettos featuring the popular "fa,
la, la" refrains, here is a wonderful piece for
teaching terraced dynamics, independent singing
through counterpoint, and Baroque style. This
arrangement can also be performed successfully
with TTB voices.
