Fa la la, a cornucopia of your favorite Madrigals! John Rutter and the Cambridge Singers sing English madrigals and folk songs. As entertainment for public occasions and a relief from boredom, the English madrigal comes in a wide variety of styles from dramatic to silly. This recording includes lighter pieces such as 'Now is the Month of Maying' and 'My Bonnie Lass She Smileth' by Thomas Morley, the somber 'Silver Swan' by Orlando Gibbons and the comical 'Fair Phyllis' by John Farmer. In addition, the program includes folk song arrangements by Gustav Holst and Ralph Vaughn Williams. A classic recording.
