Description
This dynamic collection presents four jazzy settings of favourite madrigals by Thomas Morley, John Bennet, and Orlando Gibbons. The first, 'Sing we and chant it', is a relaxed jazz waltz with a compelling melody, while the expressive 'Weep, O mine eyes' setting features rich harmonies that will resonate with singers.
The other two movements offer distinct styles: 'Learned Poets' has a bossa nova feel with strong rhythmic grooves and characterful syncopations, while 'Fire, fire!' captures the text's intensity with an urgent rolling tempo and driving bassline. The piano part can be played as written or used as a guide, and a separate bass and drum kit part is available for trio accompaniment.
