He was lutenist to Sir Henry Pierrepont. He published in London in 1604 Songes of sundrie kinds.

@bartje11 sorry, didn't mean to offend, and I indeed appreciate the score. I'm just saying that in this form it simply does not sound like a madrigal, but a choral piece.

@JAYJAY1000000 What? no thanks for uploading the score? So typical.

@LevMysh68 I quite agree, it sounds muffled, just six voices would have been perfect, as it was meant to be.

Love this madrigal! And I love the Cambridge Singers just as much. But seriously, how many people can you have singing at once and still call it a madrigal...?
