Robinson's TBB arrangement of this beloved Bennett madrigal, originally published for four voices in 1599, has been changed from the original key of A minor to the key of D minor, making the ranges and texture more characteristic for TBB voices. A wonderful concert or festival staple piece!.
Weep, O Mine Eyes is a classic madrigal from the Renaissance period (circa 1400-1650). Although John Bennet's exact birth and death dates are unknown, we know that he was English and composed madrigals (non-sacred a cappella pieces) in the late 16th - early 17th centuries. Although, Bennet was not as prolific as other madrigal writers of the time, such as Thomas Morley, Weep, O Mine Eyes has certainly stood the test of time. Originally published in a book of 17 madrigals for four voices in 1599, this arrangement for TBB voices has been changed from the original key of A minor to the key of D minor, making the ranges and texture more characteristic for TBB voices. The original flavor of Bennet's four-part setting has been preserved, including the counterpoint (independent voices) where each voice is of equal importance. In Renaissance style no parts should over sing; the beauty of the melodic lines and text should come through and over singing will take away from the beauty. The EE vowel is sometimes problematic in the word weep. I suggest that you produce the EE vowel with OO on the lips and EE inside the mouth for better blend and to avoid a horizontal spreading of the vowel. Enjoy this wonderful madrigal!.

Scripture: Psalm 19, Psalm 110, Psalm 121, Psalm 126, Psalm 131.

The first piece, Call to Worship and Dance, is inspired by Psalm 19, “He has pitched a tent for the sun, which comes forth like the groom from his bridal chamber.” This piece begins with evocative figures before moving to a syncopated dance. In the second piece, Kate takes her inspiration from Psalm 110. Psalm 121, “I will lift up my eyes” consists of long, arching phrases.  Psalm 126, “Our mouths were filled with laughter” is another dance. Kate depicts the laughter with a highly chromatic melody and harmonic shifts. The concluding psalm is Psalm 131, “I have stilled my soul, like a weaned child on its mother’s lap, so is my soul within me.” .

The source (sauce!) of inspiration for this work was somewhat unusual. Whilst on tour with a youth brass group, Kazys Daugėla ate a Piri-Piri salad that had a wickedly hot sauce. He jokingly told his fellow band members that one day he would write a piece to celebrate this mouth watering experience. The result was this Hot and Spicy piece garnished with a light mambo rhythm!

Een piripirisalade van scherpe pepertjes! Dat was de nogal ongewone inspiratiebron voor Daugela om dit werk te componeren. Bij het proeven van het behoorlijk pittige gerecht 'smeekte' de componist om een middel waarmee hij de pittigheidkon verminderen. Dat kon hij krijgen, als hij beloofde een nieuwe compositie te schrijven. Zo gezegd, zo gedaan: Daugela kreeg eenvoudigweg olie. En dit energieke, doch gemakkelijk speelbare werk in mamboritme? Dat was zijntegenprestatie. Een smaakvol geschenk waarvan nu ook uw blaasorkest kan 'proeven'!

Ein Piri-Piri-Salat mit scharfen Pfefferschoten, der dem Komponisten bei einer Party mit einem Jugendblasorchester serviert worden war, wurde zur ungewöhnlichen Inspirationsquelle zu diesem Stück. Daugėla musste den jungen Musikern für ein Mittel zur Linderung der Schärfe eine neue Komposition versprechen. Das Mittel war simples Salatöl und dieses pfeffrige, leicht spielbare Stück im Mambo-Rhythmus ist das Resultat des Handels, von dem nun jedes Blasorchester profitieren kann!

Le piri piri est un piment plein de feu originaire d'Angola et adopté par les Portugais, qui l’utilisent pour épicer presque tous les plats. Surpris par le piquant (hot) de ce petit piment dont il faut user avec beaucoup de modération, Kazys Daugéla en eut le souffle coupé mais s’en inspira pour composer cette petite œuvre pimentée (spicy).

Il piri piri è una spezia molto piccante originaria dell’Angola e utilizzata in Portogallo per condire molti piatti. Sorpreso dal sapore piccante (hot) di questo piccolo peperoncino, da gustare con molta moderazione, il piri piri, pur causando un gradevole disagio al compositore, lo ha ispirato a mporre questo brano molto speziato.
