Description:
Like many Englishmen I had sung madrigals for pleasure - usually late at night with friends, after several glasses of wine. While these madrigals have their charm, and many are extremely beautiful, I found, as I began an extended exploration of the madrigal as a creative venture, that the richest source lies in the Italian Renaissance.In 1998 I embarked on a project to write a series of madrigals, eventually deciding to collect them in 'books' in the manner of Italian madrigalists, such as Monteverdi or Gesualdo. The Second Book is for an unusual six-part group - the Scandinavian Trio Mediaeval (3 sopranos) and three tenors (John Potter plus two from the Hilliard Ensemble) - and sets Petrarch in the original 14th century Italian. I focused on those sonnets known as the Rima Sparsi (scattered verses) and added one extra Petrarch setting - originally a radiophonic piece (Marconi's Madrigal) for CBC's Marconi Day. Gavin Bryars

Benedetto sia 'l giorno e 'l mese et l' anno
-
Io son già stanco di pensar sì come
-
Quando dal proprio sito si rumove
-
Oi che voi et io più volte abbiam provato
-
Non veggio ove scampar mi possa omai
-
Ponmi ove 'l sole occide i fiori et l' erba
-
Non Tesin, Po, Baro, Arno, Adige et Tebro
-
I' vidi in terra angelici costumi
-
O passi sparsi, o pensier vaghi et pronti
-
Una candida cerva sopra l' erba
-
Che fai? che pensi?
-
Amor, che meco al buon tempo ti stavi
-
Fu forse un tempo dolce
-
Morte à spento quel sol ch' abagliar suolmi
