This SATB a cappella group meets for the pleasure of singing in the Madrigal tradition. Madrigals are characterised by their uplifting, enjoyable to sing and always appealing despite some complex harmonies. In each session there is a variety of songs and since these are quite short, we cover a few different styles in a session. Our repertoire is focussed on English madrigals and part-songs, occasionally including music in other European languages. We will be using 'The Oxford Book of English Madrigals' edited by Philip Ledger and 'Madrigals and Partsongs' by Clifford Bartlett. Additional music may be sourced online for members to print off. Members of this group have good sight-reading abilities. All are encouraged to make suggestions on repertoire, technique and performance. This friendly group meets in a delightful venue and warmly welcomes new members.
