The anonymous words for this piece, four brief reflections on the pleasures and insults of love, are drawn from sixteenth and seventeenth century English texts. The brevity and brilliance of the pieces, and the charm of the texts, will make them good encore pieces when performed individually. Their precise gestures - formed of snappy rhythms, stylish melodies, and expanded harmonies - blend vestiges of the English madrigal with a modern jazz idiom to yield delicate yet vigorous works of charm and delight. They are not difficult.
