What If I Seek for Love (1601) by Robert Jones Piano, Vocal - Digital Sheet Music
By Robert JonesWhat If I Seek for Love
“What If I Seek for Love” (1601), by English composer Robert Jones (c.1577-1617), who was one of the most prolific composers and lutenists of his day. Of the more popular musical forms of English Renaissance (the late 15th century to the early 1600’s) was the lute song: a piece for single voice accompanied by the lute. Most lute songs are about love and tended to be a rather melancholy affair with disdainful ladies refusing to acknowledge the ardent advances of hopeful lovers – as is “What If I Seek for Love”. This 2023 setting is scored for solo voice and keyboard accompaniment. The simple melody and poetry of Jones is retained and embellished with the piano accompaniment. This is an excellent piece for young singers, introducing them to style, form and technique. Performance time: 1:30+-
