Mr. Weelkes wrote a lot of really good church music too, but this is his secular side.
Great change of pace...thanks!
Thank you!
(Put me on your ping list. :-)
I first encountered madrigals when, upon arriving in Colonial Williamsburg for a weekend during the Christmas Season we experienced a concert in the Colonial Capitol Building. I was enthralled! I hummed and whistled some of the melodies for the next few days.
I’ve purchased several albums of Elizabethan music, in Colonial Williamsburg and elsewhere, with lute and harpsichord and recorder, and the rare madrigal included, just by happenstance, but never have found much in the way of pure madrigals.
I noticed there are several pretty good leads in the sidebar on the page where that madrigal is found. I’ll follow up on some of those. Thanks a million!
