Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
for SATB with optional double bass and optional piano
These pieces may be performed individually or as a five-movement suite. Numbers 1, 4, and 5 are also published for upper voices and keyboard as Three Birthday Madrigals.
The music captures the varied moods of the words with their rapture, sorrow, humour, and vitality in a way which makes these classic madrigal texts come alive for contemporary audiences.
"If the suite is performed complete ... Nos. 2 and 4 are to be sung unaccompanied"--T.p. verso..
Duration: 16:00.
