From his opera 'Venus and Adonis', which draws on classical mythology, Hans Werner Henze has taken four movements already described there as 'madrigals' and arranged them for a cappella performance. These can be performed by six soloists or by a chorus. A distinctive and demanding yet rewarding challenge for singers.
