Madrigal (my Bonnie Lass) So1 Sc/pts

Originally scored for five voices, Thomas Morley's My Bonnie Lass translates beautifully to string orchestra. The melody is skillfully shared between all sections of the ensemble. Tutti sections alternate with simplecounterpoint, while the arrangement stays light, airy, and firmly roote d in G major. The single meter change can be negotiated without losing any character or sixteenth-century style.
