I fell in love with madrigals when my son was the only baritone in high school choir and they sang madrigals..it was magical and relaxing
I love the never ending tension and release of the chords.
I sang Italian madrigals in college... we'd surround the history and language classes, and sang to them... singing in the round really helped us, too, learning how to listen to one another better.
Why are madrigals so fixated with fa la la?
Now is the month of maying, i was searching for this madrigal for years and years, thanks for posting it, this is a beautyful thing, a jewel of the human sense.
Actually, this is the month of Septembering.

😊😊😊
I read somewhere that composing the madrigal was the greatest challenge for a lot of these prolific renaissance composers. Probably because its only voices and yet the arrangements are so complex. Beautiful stuff
Yeah, especially with all of those fa la las that they have to sing when they cannot come up with actual words.
Haha my last name is Madrigal so when I found out it's a musical thing. I had to hear what a Madrigal sounds like 😂

The best music England has made!
Wow this piece of music has been here over hundreds of years and it’s pretty cool that it can viewed just from your phone. Lelmao neat
Gavin MacNeish the nymphs to sport incite thee!
Every Spring, I crave hearing these poignant, sweet songs, which I sang with a close-knit group of high school friends. What else could such a disparate group of young people agree on and sound beautiful doing? Gems of song!
11:13 I remember talking to Paul about this song before he died....this one was one of his favorites. we had many rainy days rehearsing lines with this Song in the background! I miss him! R.I.P. Paul Walker :(
He was...truly...an angel to this world!
I’m so sorry for your loss! He sounds like he was a nice guy.
I'm auditioning for madrigals this year. I'm going to be a freshman and would love to sing amazing pieces like this.
Hope you made it! I loved being a madrigal
Ive sung all these over the years.( am 70 this year). They are all beloved. My favorite is Draw On Sweet Night which is perfect to sing on a frosty night in an old house. It has a perfect modulation from D major to F major and then back again.
In a word ~ enchanting.
Enchanting...yes that is the word that comes to mind. Me and my buddy Paul muthafuckin walker used to chill and smoke dat doja naw wut I mean we be getting high as fuck me and my homie Paul smoking big blunts ya heard hard body chronic that purple scurple green latifah shit you feel me. It's love always!
Madrigals are “enchanting”? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So lovely thanks
4:15 Fair Phyllis - John Farmer
8:09 Farewell Dear Love - Robert Jones
9:42 April Is In My Mistress' Face - Thomas Morley
16:35 Sing We At Pleasure - Weelkes
20:56 The Silver Swan - Orlando gibbons
Sang Madrigals in HS in 1966. loved the music!
I’m listening to this in the hopes that whatever music my choir director picks for our Madrigal Festival is music that I already know 😎
I was in vocal music group of 16 voices in high school ('71-'72). The one madrigal we sang that I recognized was "Weep, O mine eyes". Memorable times.
Walnut?
wundervoll....
Thank you. Stunningly sublime.
Back in the 80's, I had the good fortune to sing for some years with the Thames Singers (chamber choir) in London. We sang madrigals as well as other pieces at our summer concerts.
My choir once sang "Now is the month of maying" 😌🎶🎵
Thank you for this great resource with timestamps!
This kind of music fits my aesthetic so perfectly! 😍
wonderful! a joy!
marvelous! thank you
Was just in Cambridge this weekend.
I'm glad I researched Madrigals
Real singing!! No rap/crap; just music as it was/is meant to be!! Thank you.
I looked madrigals after it was mentioned in Lolita. Pretty dope. Makes me feel a certain way.
Ha! I searched for it because it’s mentioned in Dubliners 😂
@@herrklamm1454 It's mentioned in After The Race :P
@@herrklamm1454 Breaking Bad + Marlowe's A Passionate Shepherd to His Love
Thank you so much for these great videos and the transcriptions! Loving your channel.
this is lovely. thank you
10:23 September. *melts in the beauty*
thanks again for uploading ...
Sang Madrigals in High School (many years ago) MISS this.
Me too, about 1955/56
Me too. And now I'm a mom and teach my kids to sing!
Very good music
Jeopardy told me what this was
Come away, sweet love, and play thee,
lest grief and care betray thee,
Fa la la.
Leave off this sad lamenting
and take thy heart's contenting.
The nymphs to sport invite thee,
and running in and out delights thee.
Fa la la
Wow this is what I found
Wow I searched easy songs to sing but this very hard song poped out.... hahahahaa.... it's nice though.
Hey Hyndland :)

NOW IS THE MONTH OF MAYING
WHEN MERRY LADS ARE PLAYING
Hey fam
this is a strange performance, normally madrigals is recorded outside of the church, with less voices, less reverb. It is very text based genre, it is important to hear the words well. It is also very virtuoso type of composition, so the less voices you have, the best you show the skills of the singers. Madrigals may be performed in the church by not having better alternative, and some madrigals may have a choral texture, but the best sound of the madrigal you get in other places, with less voices . This choir is very famous, so people expect they keep their sound.At least this is like Gould playing Bach on piano : an exceptional adaptation.
Anyone here because of online school?
yassss
yes
Yup
lol
I have to differentiate Mass music and Madrigal music in my own words o_o
Here because of Jeapordy!
Aaron Copland’s “What To Listen For in Music” brought me here.
Haha I just bought the book a couple of days back. Haven’t started reading it. Came here because of an online course I took - introduction to classical music- Yale university
@@hypercube19 Get reading! Although originally intended for the "lay person" and not entirely for the musician, the book is filled with so much wisdom that it really should be required reading for every musician and composer.
Finely sculpted chord interplay, full of harmony, counterpoint and movement, and it's not even Bach motets. Listening to (most) modern music makes one want to die.
I used to hate this kind of music. I didn't get it. I thought it was totally boring. As I got older I realized it was me that was boring; a mind programmed for instant gratification and cheap thrills, the product of a vapid consumer culture. I still love rock n roll but these vestiges are becoming more and more significant to me.
Madrigal seni dert etmeleri dinlicektim anlamadım buraya nasıl ışınlandım
What are the first two harmonic textures in this madrigal? Maybe monophonic, then homophonic? What do you think?
Dubliners brought me here.
WASHOUT SA MGA GRADE 9 NA NANONOOD HAHAHA
Hey pano po ba mag edit yung like 4 yung screen na kumakanta ng english madrigal? Nahihirapan na talaga ako kasi wala din akong alam sa mga app na edit or about jan
I like the fa la la part.
It's beautiful but you won't understand the lyrics without looking 99.9% of the time, especially the bass lyrics.
I am doing a music assignment on this and have no clue whats going on
magic
im here from a quiz for school and was hoping the answer would be in the comments...but no
Online school brought me here

Bar 19 of Farewell, Dear Love (Robert Jones) [8:52] -- the tenors can't decide whether they're doing the B-natural for a tierce de Picardie or the B-flat in the score for the minor chord!
The endlessly echoing cathedral space is so inappropriate for this repertoire.
Not at all, completely in line with the times.
Sounds like a huge amount of reverb was added.
Ever sung in a cathedral? It has natural reverb, some have so much reverb (more than 2 seconds) choirs can't sing there but most are fantastic to sing in.
@@bartjebartmans Are you sure this is one of Rutter's choirs. I hear off-pitch singing and missed rhythms. And yes I have performed in a cathedral vis a vis my comment about added reverb.
@@Allinfun6789 Of course I am sure this is John Rutter. It says so on the CD, the sleeve and the cover. So "added" reverb, what do you mean added by who or what? A normal reverb of a room or hall is not added. You can only add reverb in the studio. Here is the CD and as you see it was recorded in Ely Cathedral. I hope this satisfies your curiosity. www.fye.com/john-rutter-the-cambridge-singers---olde-english-madrigals-fye.000000400029262449.html? gclid=CjwKCAjwsan5BRAOEiwALzomX5V4pAeYQ8t4HTEB38QzzZRGXPXgnLmUd797UwFGtK8DBlmJ6zlGqhoC8mkQAvD_BwE

I love madrigals and at this time of the year I need them. Your interpretations are lovely, yet I find that you bury the text under the tones to the point that even when listening intently with closed eyes I can barely understand any of the words. For me, you should make the words come through to us. There is some feeling behind the words that should also come through. And I believe that if you were to adapt the attitude that this is true, then there would be more expression to the music based upon the emotions of the words. Therefore, for me at least, the pieces are unfortunately hollow.
Who are you talking to? John Rutter? I have never heard such nonsense in my life "the pieces are unfortunately hollow"... wow what an arrogant smug shallow observation.
@@bartjebartmans It is called an opinion, and it is very personal, and that is why I wrote, "for me at least". Your comment sir, is the reason why there is so much black-white conflict around causing so much trouble. You insult people because they beg to differ with you. Learn to accept that others might not think like you and if you choose to make counter-comments, make them positive and constructive or personal and enlightening.
@@labradoodleparadies So you can have an opinion, but I can't? LOL You write something negative and opinionated and are surprised you get a negative answer? That is what is wrong with this world.
It would seem the 'text' or lyrics in choral music do not need to be fully and/or precisely articulated as in normal speech for the listeners full appreciation. Choir vocals are more about the beautiful and harmonious sound of the blended voices, less about the exact decipherability of the words as sung. Still, everyone has a right to pitch a bitch about almost anything and apparently even madrigals can trigger people. Who knew?
Lol
