King's Singers - Madrigal History Tour - Now is the month

Lyrics:
Now is the month of Maying,
When merry lads are playing,

Each with his bonny lass,
Upon the greeny grass,

The Spring, clad all in gladness,
Doth laugh at Winter's sadness,

And to the bagpipe's sound
The nymphs tread out their ground,

Fie then why sit we musing,
Youth's sweet delight refusing?

Say dainty nymphs and speak,
Shall we play barley break?




Composed by Thomas Morley, "Now is the month of maying", from "The King's Singers, Madrigal History Tour, The England"

i sang this with the kings singers in newcastle at the sage

The Kings singers are like Libera, in that when someone leaves another takes their place... Thus preserving the fantastic sounds... The gentlemen here are from earlier decades, all but one I remember from the late 70' into the 80's... Fabulous singing and harmonies too...
