In keeping with the efforts of developing a curriculum that fosters Comprehensive Musicianship, this string orchestra arrangement of three of the most popular Renaissance madrigals, will provide your students with a peak into this period of music history that is frequently overlooked. “Now Is the Month of Maying,” “Sing We and Chant It,” both by Thomas Morley, and “Fair Phyllis,” by John Farmer, are basic choral repertoire found in most high school and college full SATB and madrigal ensembles. The string ensemble may perform the arrangement alone with the added Renaissance style percussion. Or, better yet, why not enhance the performance by adding an SATB chorus thereby sharing the stage with your school’s most advanced choral ensemble? (5:00) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
