The Golden Age Of The Madrigal

Beskrivning

This book of twelve five-part mixed choruses has been put together and edited by Alfred Einstein. Although it illustrates historically the development of the madrigal over a period of sixty years, the primary purpose of this collection is a musical one, and the collection should give delight to those who love Renaissance music and a capella singing. Although each song has five parts these are not 'set', and any section may be split in any one piece.
Original Italian texts with English versions and piano for rehearsal only.
