Secular Concert medium-advanced / Madrigals, Chansons & Canzonets
l The Wayfarer (Love Entered in My Heart
One Day)Seth Houston. This setting captures
the mixture of despair, tenderness, and nostalgia
found in one of Sara Teasdale's darker poems.
The Wayfarer speaks of love as a "sad, unwelcome
guest," a sentiment that the composer has
captured expertly in his music. The wonderfully
dramatic accompaniment will take a skilled pianist.
Singers with the utmost expression will bring this
unique setting to life.

Ht William Tell OvertureGioacchino Rossini/arr.
Eschliman. Rossini would be amazed by what Julie
Eschliman has done with his famous piece! It's hard
to keep a straight face while singing this hilarious
novelty arrangement for better choirs. Sung entirely
on syllables which imitate the sounds of the original
orchestral score, this is tongue-in-cheek humor at
its best! Awesome when performed a cappella,
but equally impressive with the optional piano
accompaniment, this will earn a standing ovation!
Very highly recommended!

n You Are the MusicDan Forrest. This lush,
award-winning SSAATB work with soprano solo
hauntingly sets Amy Lowell's Listening text in a
most engaging manner. The piano accompaniment
and French horn solo work in partnership with the
choral ensemble.

Madrigals, Chansons
& Canzonets
Ht All Ye Who Music LoveBaldassare Donato/
Spevacek. Here's a stunning original work in
Madrigal style, this is light and airy, bright and
festive. Linda has taken a clever approach to the
famous Donato text, with lilting music and word
painting, which allows the choir to "warble" with
impunity! It's a fun introduction to Madrigals for
developing voices!
3253887 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . 1.95
t
Bonzorno Madonna (Good Day, Dear)arr.
John Leavitt. This delightful sixteenth-century
Italian madrigal will be a charming addition to any
concert, with imitative vocal phrases alternating
with homophonic sections and culminating in
a dancelike "ton dari don ton ton" refrain. A
refreshing departure from the usual "fa la la la
la" refrain in most madrigals, this has the original
Italian words, with alternate English lyrics by John
Leavitt. Highly recommended!
10092681 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90
4t Come Away, Sweet LoveThomas Greaves/
arr. John Leavitt. This delightful five-voice
madrigal from 1604 is outstanding! Echo effects
and lots of interplay among the parts make the
most of the musical imagery of "running in and
out." This is guaranteed fun to rehearse and
perform! Highly recommended!
10455972 SSATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90
lt Farewell, Dear LoveRobert Jones/arr. John
Leavitt. Robert Jones (1577-1617) was an English
composer and lutenist who was a prolific writer of
songs and madrigals. This delightful example of his
madrigal style expresses sadness over the loss of a
love. It will give your a cappella singers a chance to
develop important ensemble skills.

A Festive MadrigalWilliam Gooch/arr.
Moore. Developing three-part mixed and SSA
choirs will achieve their finest a cappella sound
with this light choral inspired by the tune Reuben,
Reuben. "Gather folk and all acquaintance, come
and sing the night away. Gather 'round and sing
a chorus, sing we now this festive day... Fa la la
la la la la la..."

Fire, Fire, My HeartThomas Morley/arr.
Spevacek. This superb setting of the classic
Morley madrigal features an extremely well-
crafted optional piano accompaniment and
additional pitch options which allow expansion to
a fuller SATB voicing. A marvelous teaching piece
to experience the madrigal genre, it is also great
fun! Highly recommended!

lt How Merrily We LiveMichael East/arr. John
Leavitt. The seventeenth-century English composer
Michael East wrote madrigals, anthems and
consorts, including this delightful madrigal now
arranged for treble voices. With its intricate and
playful voice parts, this is an excellent selection for
ensemble, contest and concert.

t Il Est Bel et BonPierre Passereau/arr. Leavitt.
This popular French chanson relates the gossipy
conversation of a pair of French housewives as
they chatter about their husbands. Dancelike
phrases echo back and forth, along with colorful
wordplay and double meanings. English translation
is included.
10278487 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.80
t Je Le Vous DiraiPierre 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!
3294576 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . 1.95
4 Je Ne Fus Jamais Si AisePierre Certon/
arr. Jerry Estes. Pierre Certon's dancing and
lighthearted work is made more accessible for
younger voices with this fine arrangement. The
harmonic and textural elements remain true to the
original, preserving the frivolity of the piece. You
may choose to sing only the French text and end at
the optional fine, or extend the length and continue
singing using the English text. Add the flute and
percussion parts to create the perfect performance.

lt L'ultimo di di Maggio (On the Last Day of
May)Ottorino Respighi/arr. Robert Sieving.
Robert Sieving combines an anonymous sixteenth-
century poem with music from Respighi's brilliant
Ancient Aires and Dances for Lute, Suite 1: Balletto
to create a light-hearted, dance-like representation
of a charming lute piece.

4t A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad MadrigalKirby Shaw.
This is very funny! It's a mad, mad, mad, mad
madrigal indeed when the "fa-la-la's" get mixed
up with the "shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo's" and the
"rama-lama-ding-dong's"! Novelty madrigals are
rare, and this is the best one available - it will have
your audience in stitches! Highly recommended!
10455756 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90
