This Sweet and Merry Month of May

About this work

The spring text circulates through lively polyphony in which replies seem to appear before the preceding phrase has fully ended. This closeness gives the madrigal its lightness and requires constant listening among the voices.

Practise entries with small groups of sections, then superimpose them while retaining the same vowels. Precise articulation does not require a hard sound: consonants launch the rhythm and vowels carry the line.

Reserve collective breaths for genuine cadences. Elsewhere, organise discreet relays so the motion does not subside and every new entry finds acoustic space.
