Like many Englishmen I had sung madrigals for pleasure - usually late at night with friends, after several glasses of wine. While these madrigals have their charm, and many are extremely beautiful, I found, as I began an extended exploration of the madrigal as a creative venture, that the richest source lies in the Italian Renaissance.In 1998 I embarked on a project to write a series of madrigals, eventually deciding to collect them in 'books' in the manner of Italian madrigalists, such as Monteverdi or Gesualdo. The Second Book is for an unusual six-part group - the Scandinavian Trio Mediaeval (3 sopranos) and three tenors (John Potter plus two from the Hilliard Ensemble) - and sets Petrarch in the original 14th century Italian. I focused on those sonnets known as the Rima Sparsi (scattered verses) and added one extra Petrarch setting - originally a radiophonic piece (Marconi's Madrigal) for CBC's Marconi Day. Gavin Bryars.

  • Benedetto sia 'l giorno e 'l mese et l' anno
  • Io son gia stanco di pensar si come
  • Quando dal proprio sito si rumove
  • Poi che voi et io piu volte abbiam provato
  • Non veggio ove scampar mi possa omai
  • Ponmi ove 'l sole occide i fiori et l' erba
  • Non Tesin, Po, Baro, Arno, Adige et Tebro
  • I' vidi in terra angelici costumi
  • O passi sparsi, o pensier vaghi et pronti
  • Una candida cerva sopra l' erba
  • Che fai? che pensi?
  • Amor, che meco al buon tempo ti stavi
  • Fu forse un tempo dolce
  • Morte a spento quel sol ch' abagliar suolmi
  • Marconi's Madrigal, Se 'l sasso ond' e piu chiusa questa valle
