set here for TBB voices, with Italian text and English
subtext. Carefully edited, it is shorter in duration
than the original SATB score and includes an
optional piano accompaniment. Written in a style
that is rustic and light, with energized syllables
of "dire, dire, don, don, don," this is an excellent
feature for developing male voices!

4t 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!

madrigal novelty, 16th-century harmony meets
21st-century technology! It sings the story of a
